"Healthy" Cookies

I've had a pretty healthy diet for pretty much my entire life,

but over the last few months I've made small changes to my diet,

and I'd say that my eating has gotten even healthier!

But because I'm me - I still have that sweet tooth,

so of course I looked for something healthy to curb that.

I quickly found this recipe and made it that same day!

After adding a few yummy ingredients,

I ended up with a cookie that was not only pretty healthy,

but fixed that sweet craving I get quite often.

The Goods:

Mashed Bananas

Oats

Coconut Flakes

Craisins

Mini Chocolate Chips

Ground Cinnamon

Mix together 2 large mashed bananas, 1 cup oats and a teaspoon ground cinnamon.

Add 1/2 cup EACH of mini chocolate chips, craisins and coconut flakes.

Mix until everything is well incorporated. 

Portion your cookies out on greased cookie sheet.

Realize that some granulated honey would be a great addition,

so sprinkle some on top of each cookie before baking.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

They will be pretty soft when you take them out.

Cool on wire rack for a few minutes.

Then take a bite and enjoy this "healthy" treat!
