Healthy Cookies _ No Sugar No Flour
These healthy, sugar-free, and flourless cookies are a delicious low-carb dessert and nutritious snack made with mashed bananas, natural nut butter, rolled oats, and optional chocolate chips. They're ready in under 30 minutes and free of artificial ingredients!
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas mashed for natural sweetness
- 1 cup natural peanut butter or almond butter, no sugar added
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats certified gluten-free if needed
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder optional for chocolate flavor
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds or flaxseeds for omega-3 boost
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips optional
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts optional for crunch
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth, then stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Add rolled oats, chia seeds, unsweetened cocoa powder (if using), baking soda, and sea salt. Fold gently until the oats soak up the wet ingredients.
- Stir in sugar-free dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts for extra texture and flavor. Feel free to swap with pumpkin seeds or dried fruit.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion into 12 mounds on the prepared sheet, then gently flatten each to about ¾-inch thickness.
- Optional: Chill the tray in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up dough and ensure thicker, chewier cookies.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are just set—avoid overbaking for a soft, tender bite.
- Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or store for later!
