Simple, easy, and delicious! I doubled the cinnamon, and thawed frozen bananas.

Simple in deed! And delicious to boot! This recipe saved me from throwing out some fast ripening bananas. And in my quest to find a good healthy cookie, this simple oatmeal cookie is the best so far.

RickandRuth, you can always peel then freeze the bananas for later use in a recipe that calls for frozen bananas, like Dr. Fuhrman's nice cream recipes. They're delicious that way too. Enjoy.

I really like this recipe. It'll be a keeper. My fresh bananas weren't very ripe, so I thawed some frozen bananas I keep on hand for smoothies and nice cream. They had a bit more liquid than fresh bananas, so I added about 1/2 cup more oats. I was afraid to squish them down before baking, thinking they'd spread too much. They actually don't spread at all, so I'll shape them next time. I think I'll also try making breakfast bars or cookie bars with this recipe, because it's the ideal texture and density for that.

I doubled the cinnamon, added a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, substituted the bananas with 16oz pumpkin, and then added 1/4-1/3 C vegan, sugar-free chocolate chips.

Delicious.

One cup of rolled oats will yield approximately 1 cup of oat flour.

If I already have oat flour, can anyone tell me the ratio of unground oats (or nuts, for that matter) to ground. In other words, if I need 2 C. of oats for this recipe, how much ground oat flour would I use? Thanks! I wonder about that a lot with various recipes. I am lucky to have sources locally for, say, almond flour or oat flour, so I don't need to make my own, but don't want to wreck a recipe by adding too much!

I checked online for substituuting oat flour for oats. I found this ratio: 1 & 1/4 cup oat flour for 1 cup of old fashioned oats or rolled oats. Since the comment below says cup for a cup, I would start with 1 cup and add the extra 1/4 cup as needed.

I added ~1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, 1 tablespoon ground flax, doubled the cinnamon. Spread the mixture it in a 9x9 cake pan, baked 350 for 20 min in a convection toaster oven, and drizzled melted 100% cacao tablets to drizzle on top. Cut into 16 bars. Yum! This recipe makes a great base!

I'm pretty sure you can substitute pumpkin (canned). I've seen another recipe like this online. Probably a cup of pumpkin?

Can you substitute something for the banana? I like bananas as themselves, but have never liked things flavored with bananas. I've tried other recipes and the banana always bothers me--would applesauce work? or even avocado?

At first I didn't care for them, but now I find them delicious. They must taste better as they sit or my tastebuds are changing. Sometimes I add a dab of 100% fruit spread for added sweetness.

I liked it. Just sweet enough for dessert and I didn't crave sugar, which helps.

This is a very easy recipe and very good. I sometimes add unsweetened applesauce if it is needs more moisture.

I really like this easy recipe and it was perfect to freeze for my 11 month old grandson as a healthy snack. (I chopped the raisins for him)

Bernita,

I don't think you use any flour. The oats are taking the place of the flour.
