Ingredients For I Don’t Eat Sugar! Healthy Cookies Without Flour and Sugar – Energy Dessert Recipe

  • 2 medium ripe bananas (mashed)

  • 2 cups rolled oats

  • ½ cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts)

  • ⅓ cup raisins or unsweetened dried cranberries

  • 2 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseeds

  • 2 tbsp natural peanut butter or almond butter

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • A pinch of salt

(Optional: 2–3 squares of dark chocolate (85% cocoa), chopped, for extra richness)

  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
