A reduced-fat cookie with a cakey texture and the flavor of banana nut bread. Another in the Cookies for Breakfast series! Ingredients:
3 cups old fashioned oats |
1 cup skim milk |
1 cup chopped pecans (you can also use walnuts if preferred) |
2 cups mashed bananas (about 4 medium bananas) |
4 egg whites |
1 cup dark brown sugar |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
3 cups whole wheat flour |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon nutmeg |
2 teaspoons cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Mix together oats, milk, and pecans in a bowl and set aside.
2. Mix together brown sugar, egg whites, mashed banana, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon, and stir well to combine.
4. Add oat mixture and stir well (the cookie dough will look like lumpy oatmeal).
5. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto cookie sheets sprayed with non-stick spray or lined with parchment paper. Flatten each cookie slightly with a fork or spatula.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes.
