We may have plenty of free time on our hands right now but some of us are lazy and still want the EASIEST cookies recipes out there. This no-oven recipe will make for a wholesome breakfast or the perfect afternoon snack coupled with a fresh brew of kahwa. Bonus points go to the fact that these cookies fall on the healthy side of things: they’re gluten-free, low sugar, vegan, and super mega nutritious, you get the point. All you need is 4 ingredients and of course an appetite for all-things sweet. Enjoy *chef’s kiss* !
Ingredients
- 1 cup of oats (don’t grind!)
- ¼ cup of peanut butter which is equivalent to 4 tablespoons (you can use less or substitute it with another nut butter)
- 1 banana (ripe is easier to mash)
- Chocolate chips (dark, milk, or white and as much as you want - we’ve always followed this motto: the darker, the richer the taste)
Instructions
The prep time of his fun recipe will take you between 5 to 10 minutes and will make 8 or 9 cookies.
- Mash the banana to get a near liquid consistency
- Add your nut butter and mix
- Pour gradually your oats as you mix
- Cut your chocolate tablet into small chunks (if you don’t have chocolate chips around)
- Add them to the mixture
- Mix all the ingredients together until you get a cookie dough consistency
- Scoop out some dough from your mix, roll it into a ball, and flatten it into a circle (a spoon can come in handy in this step)
- Place them all on a microwave safe plate
- Put those babies in the microwave for a minute
- Enjoy the smell and you can cook them for an additional 15 seconds.
- Take them out of the microwave, let them rest (we know it’s hard and tempting not too)
- Make some coffee to pair and DIG IN.
