No Eggs, No Sugar, No Butter/Oil, No Flour, No Salt Cookies

Sometimes you just want something to snack on. Like a cookie!
Today my blog friend Diana Nana Diana Blogspot published her Banana Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe, and this evening I tried it with what I had in house. I will call my version the 5 No's Cookies.

This is what my cookies look like:


Maybe I should add another No. 



No Beauties!


And here is the recipe:

5 No's Cookies

2 large ripe bananas ( mine were frozen)
1 1/3 cups old fashioned oatmeal (any kind should work)
1/2 cup raisins
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 teaspoon real vanilla flavoring
1/3 cup coconut
A handful of pecan halves

Heat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Mash the ripe bananas.( I thawed mine 20 seconds at a time in the microwave until they were "mashable.")
Mix the mashed bananas with the rest of the ingredients.
Drop by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. (I used my silicone mat on the metal cookie sheet.)
I baked the cookies first for 10 minutes, then decided to add 3 minutes. So total 13 minutes in the oven.
Let cookies cool before munching.
Recipe makes 20+ small cookie balls. Dough does not spread, but it may fall apart. Depends on how long you bake the cookies.

You can always add 1/3 cup chocolate chips for extra yumminess.

(And I do KNOW that the coconut is sweetened and there is salt and oil in the PB.)

  1. Sounds good. I don't do coconut but that sounds good, too. Glad you liked the recipe- xo Diana

    1. I liked it and will enjoy the rest. My husband said "no thanks" after they sat overnight. He really wanted a Tollhouse chocolate chip cookie, which we do not have while we are "watching our weight." Hugs, Linda

  2. Lijkt me best wel een lekkere lekkerrnij. Het zijn tenminste wel ingredienten die ik wel lekker vind.
    Een fijn weekend verder!

    Lieve groet,
