An Oatmeal Kind of Day!

A friend of mine sent me a recipe for a healthy Oatmeal Cookie, and pondering whether I should bring a cookie back into my house this soon after Christmas, I decided it was such a healthy recipe, how could I go wrong? So…..I baked these little guys up!

Ingredients

2 Cups Oats

1/3 Cup Natural Applesauce

3 Smashed Ripe Banana’s

1/4 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk

1 tsp Cinnamon

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

2 Packets Truvia

Chocolate Chips, Nuts, Dried Fruit (optional) 

Directions

Mix all ingredients together and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes!

These really were good. They reminded me more of a dense banana bread. I baked the first few without nuts or dried fruit or chocolate chips. I decided to add a few chocolate chips to the rest.

NOW….. it was a cookie that was NOT safe left alone with me. I was glad my dad and stepmom had come over for Sunday coffee so I could force them to share in my delight!

While working on my Blog and changing things up a bit, I’ve somehow messed up my stupid iCloud and I can’t get to my pictures. If I had a teensy bit of a computer tech savvy brain at all, I  would be able to figure this out all by myself, but I don’t, so I can’t.

I have an appointment at the Apple Store on Thursday.

Bare with me…….it took forever to get this post together, so I won’t be posting again until the problem is fixed in a couple of days.

Until then, I hope you like the bigger pictures and the new look!!

Oh, and I highly recommend the Oatmeal Cookies! Thanks, Amy!! 🙂
