Simply Sweet Banana Oat Cookies Recipe

These cookies are “simply sweet” because they contain no added sugar.  Their slight sweetness comes entirely from the bananas, raisins and almond milk.  They are perfect for so many occasions: a light, healthy breakfast, a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack, a post-workout pick-me-up, or a good option for kids with the after-school munchies.

As-is, they are vegan, as they contain no eggs, butter or animal milk.  If you would like to make this recipe gluten-free as well, simply use gluten-free oats, such as Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Rolled Oats.

If it suits your fancy, dress up baked and cooled cookies with a thin layer of peanut butter and a drizzle of melted chocolate for an extra treat!
