Every day I do a little cooking, loving, playing, praising, crafting, praying, and learning as I "Rain" it all in.

Skinny Monkey Cookies

This was a Pinterest find and I tried them out today. I would like them a tad bit sweeter, but for about 50 calories each, I can't complain and they have some really good stuff in them! Hope this helps me quench some sweets cravings!!


Ingredients:

  • 3 bananas
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • Dash of cinnamon (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.  Mash bananas in a large bowl, then stir in remaining ingredients. Let batter stand for approximately 20 minutes, then drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired. Bake 10-12 minutes.

Freezing Directions:

Cool completely, then place cookies in a freezer bag. Seal, label, and freeze.
