Banana Oat Bites

This is the second morning in a row we are making these easy banana oat bites! I originally found the recipe over at The Burlap Bag and truly these “cookies” couldn’t be anymore simple, quick, and healthy! A great on-the-go breakfast or snack for the kids that even adults will like! The original recipes calls for two ingredients: bananas and quick oats and then suggests adding in your own ingredients to spice them up such as nutmeg, chocolate chips and walnuts. But I found that 1 tsp cinnamon and 2 tsp brown sugar makes the perfect combination.

Ingredients:
– 2 ripe bananas (the riper the better!)
– 1 cup quick oats
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– 2 teaspoons brown sugar

Directions:
1. Mash all ingredients together in a bowl with fork.
2. Spoon batter onto GREASED cookie sheet.
3. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. I like mine a little underdone so I take them out a little early.
Makes about 16 “cookies”

This is just like eating a bowl of oatmeal but in little snack bites. They are perfect for the boys lunches!
