3 Ingredient Healthy Chocolate Cookies

The base of these cookies is very simple, just bananas and oats. Customize to your liking after that.

But, the other day I got to thinking. I make this really good chocolate banana smoothie for my daughter (frozen bananas, cacao powder, greek yogurt, flax-meal and almond milk), and it hit me. What if I incorporate cacao powder into the banana cookies and make them SUPER chocolatey! How could I possibly go wrong?

Well, they turned out amazing! I would definitely recommend adding in other mix-ins of your choice (like chocolate chips or nuts for added flavor and texture), but even just these 3 ingredients alone are surprisingly delish. They definitely hit the spot when I’m craving something sweet!

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 very ripe large bananas
• 1 cup of quick oats (look for gluten-free oats if you have an allergy– some oats are contaminated with small traces of wheat)
• 2 small tbsp of unsweetened cacao
• Optional mix-ins of your choice (chocolate chips, cacao nibs, chopped nuts, raisins, coconut flakes, flax seed, vanilla, diced raspberries, dried cranberries, etc.)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with non-stick foil or parchment paper.
2. Mash 2 ripe bananas in a bowl, and then mix in up to 2 tbsp of unsweetened cacao powder and 1 cup of quick oats until a cookiedough-like batter is formed (the amount of oats you need depends on the size of your bananas, so start with 3/4 of a cup and add more as needed). The mixture will seem dry at first, but after a few minutes of mixing with a spoon it will turn into a nice consistency.
