In the midst of trying to temporarily avoid sweets, it felt like some baking needs to happen. And my love for cookies just got the better of me. Good thing I found this two-ingredient cookie recipe which is totally fool proof, totally healthy and amazingly delicious!
Can you believe these chewy cookies are made with just banana and oatmeal? Yup. For real. Just banana and oatmeal. You can add in a mix-in of your choice to make it a 3-ingredient cookie and to add more flavor.
I put chopped walnuts in mine. Can you see some of the walnut bits on top of some of the cookies?
In making this cookie, though, you have to use over ripe bananas to make it sweet. We are just using the banana’s natural sugar as this cookie’s sweetener. So if you use regular ripened bananas, its going to be bland. And you might not like it at all.
Two-Ingredient Cookie, remember?
Get two bananas and ½ cup of instant oats…..
Measurements may vary because there are different sizes of bananas. Just make sure it isn’t runny or the cookies would flatten out too much.
Mash it together.
Add around ¼ cup of mix-ins of your choice, like raisins, chocolate chips or chopped almonds. I added chopped walnuts in mine.
This got me 9 cookie pieces which I ate five of. I gave the four that was left to my tatay who thinks the recipe is genius.
So 5 cookies means I ate 1 banana and around ¼ cup of oatmeal plus a few pieces of walnuts. What do you think?
Just a reminder, make sure you put them onto a greased cookie sheet so it could be easily removed. I had a hard time plucking it out from the parchment paper.
Sooooo healthy, right?
- 2 bananas
- ½ cup instant oatmeal
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts
- Mash bananas and oatmeal and mix it up until well incorporated
- Add chopped walnuts and mix again
- Scoop onto a well-greased cookie sheet/baking pan

Fantastic! I expected the bananas to “melt” after baking! Looks good! I’ll try this soon!
Wow I never thought those cookies dont have any flour at all. Looks nice
I love this! They look excellent and so simple.
Amazing! Magluluto din ako nito, ang dali lang pala. Thanks for sharing sis! 🙂
This is perfect for my Dad! He is diabetic and the recipe without all the sugar and butter is perfect! Thanks! Never thought it was possible!
I would definitely try this, very healthy and easy to prepare.
I love oatmeal cookie and never thought of adding banana and nuts to it.

This is pretty good never know that banana and nuts well mix up together thanks for sharing the recipe.
that looks really good and healthy too.
Wow, that was a healthy cookie and less ingredients. I’m sure my hubby would be happy when I served these cookies. I will try your recipe very soon.
Never tried them before, but that is amazing that you don’t even need to cook or bake it. No heating up the oven or anything. Awesome! I want to try though. There are so many ways banana can be mixed in with like making chocolate Nutella banana ice cream… 🙂 hmmm… thanks for sharing this one!
Back here again mommy Peach. 🙂 I would love to try this. If only I still have bananas left I would have made some now. 🙂
Going to try this soon! We’ll be getting an oven on Friday Yipeeeeeee!!!! 🙂
Tried this recipe.turned out very well.I added some chia seeds instead of walnuts.
I’m so glad you liked it.
I’m currently trying to steer away from chocolate and any artificial sweeteners so when my 12am cravings kicked in this was the perfect, easiest and quickest dessert I could make. I made about 7 and ate 3 instantly!
