4 Ingredient Cookies

These are my hubbies favorite and I don't feel guilty making them for him. The recipe is so simple and there's no eggs or dairy in sight. So here it is, 4 ingredients: oatmeal, bananas, peanut butter and choc chips... That's it! Super simple right? So simple and so easy to make. Here's what you do....

You'll need:
- 1 lg. ripe banana or 2 small ones (the more ripe, the better) 
- 1 c. of quick oats 
- 1 heaping tbsp of peanut butter
- 1/2 c. of choc chips (I used vegan, non-dairy ones from whole foods) 

Step 1: 
Turn on oven to 350 degrees. Then start mashing up your bananas (I use my mojito muddler, but you could use a fork or your hands) 

Step 2:
Add in quick oats and stir in completely until it looks like your typical bowl of oatmeal

Step 3: 
Then add in your heaping of peanut butter, mix it up until it's easy to stir. Should start to look like cookie dough with lumps 

Step 4: 
Last but not least, add your choc chips in and stir until evenly mixed in

Step 5:
Lay parchment paper on cookie sheet. (Sometimes I put a little olive oil spray underneath the parchment paper on the cookie sheet so it doesn't move) 
Then with a tablespoon, evenly disperse your mix on cookie sheet. You don't have to worry about them expanding, they don't change shape. 

Step 6: 
Bake for 12-15 min. I like to bake for 12 min on the middle rack and then put them on the top shelf for the remaining 3 min so they brown and get a crispier outer edge :) 

So there you go, super simple and super tasty! Hope you all enjoy them as much as we do :)
