I haven't tried these yet - I will update when I do! I picked ones that got a few good ratings. I'm bringing these with me to my parent's house this weekend so that I have another option instead of going overboard with real sweets.
Over Thanksgiving I made stuff with Splenda - yum! If I can, I'd like to learn to not even eat the sugar substitutes! Anyone else have good recipes without them?
Healthy Banana Cookies
3 ripe bananas
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup dates, pitted and chopped *Reviewer said she used raisins instead.
1/3 cup vegetable oil *Reviewers said they used unsweetened applesauce or peanut butter instead
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Stir in oats, dates, oil, and vanilla. Mix well, and allow to sit for 15 minutes. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly brown.
