If you hang with me on the book of the face then you know I am NOT A COOK.
If you’ve popped in here more than a few times then you KNOW I’m no FOODIE.
Hence the KINDA in the title.
The word cookie? Methinks–according to the Tornado’s face post-consumption–might be a misnomer. I’m not putting Mrs. Fields out of business any time soon.
That said, yesterday morning + two ingredients + super-fast + super easy *AND* the eight year old could make herself? WIN-WIN.
For those of you who asked after spying the photo above—here’s the (finger-quote) recipe (unFQ):
- Two waaay overripe bananas.
- 1 cup(ish) of plain, uncooked oats.
Mash with hands. Squeeze through fingers. GIGGLE. Realize goop is a bit too “runny.” Make gross jokes. Add more dry oats.
Bake at 350 for about 11 minutes.
CONSUME!

February 8, 2014 at 10:06 amPerfect little snack or breakfast! I’d slather some almond butter on there, maybe a bit of Greek yogurt and gobs of cinnamon. I’ll have to keep this in mind! Anything I don’t really need to measure = the best. 😀

February 8, 2014 at 10:10 amOh the magic of extremely overripe bananas. It’s sad to think of how many people throw them away when their nontraditional uses are endless!

February 8, 2014 at 2:10 pmYum. Easy and fun and i’ve always got a few overripe bananas around.
Cammy@TippyToeDiet says
February 8, 2014 at 5:11 pmOoh, I’ve done this with apples, applesauce, and oats, but never thought to do it with bananas!
My only problem is that I have a wee problem with is keeping bananas around long enough to get to the overripe stage. Maybe I’ll keep an eye on the clearance bin and just buy them already overripe. 🙂
