I wanted to make some cookies for the kids to put in their lunches and recently have been enjoying homemade banana granola, so this was a bit of a experiment but it totally worked.

These yummy Banana Oatmeal Cookies are made using only 5 ingredients, and have no refined sugars. I use maple syrup to sweeten these, and then butter for the fat, but if you or your little ones have a dairy allergy, then coconut oil will work perfectly too.

To blend the banana with the maple syrup I use the Nutri Ninja Cup of my Ninja Blender Duo (with auto IQ technology).

It’s an awesome blender that features programs to combine pulsing, blending and pausing to the specific type of item you are making.

Of course any blender will do, or if you prefer, you can even just finely mash the banana.

These will keep a few days in a sealable tub. I made 7 large cookies from the mixture, so they didn’t actually last very long in my house, but you can make mini ones or regular sized ones to get more from the mixture if you prefer.

These are also really good broken up and stirred into some yoghurt. Kind of like a granola – yum!!
