Here’s a simple and popular “Smart Cookies” (3-ingredient cookies) recipe—quick, healthy-ish, and naturally sweet.
🍪 Smart Cookies (3 Ingredients)
🧾 Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1 cup oats (rolled oats or quick oats)
- ½ cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
🔥 Instructions
1. Preheat oven
Set to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Mix ingredients
- In a bowl, mash bananas until smooth
- Add oats and peanut butter
- Mix until a sticky dough forms
3. Shape cookies
- Scoop small portions onto baking tray
- Flatten slightly with a spoon (they won’t spread much)
4. Bake
- Bake for 12–15 minutes
- Until edges are lightly golden
5. Cool
- Let them cool for 10 minutes (they firm up as they cool)
🍪 Tips
- Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness
- Add cinnamon for extra flavor (optional, still “3-ingredient base”)
- For crunch: add chopped nuts or chocolate chips (technically extra ingredients)
🧠 Result
You get soft, chewy cookies with natural sweetness and no refined sugar or flour.
🌿 Variations (still simple)
- 🍫 Add cocoa powder for chocolate cookies
- 🥜 Use almond butter instead of peanut butter
- 🍯 Add a drizzle of honey if you want them sweeter
If you want, I can also give you a crispier version, a high-protein version, or a no-bake fridge cookie version.
