Healthy Oatmeal Date Breakfast Cookies
- I used old-fashioned rolled oats. I do not recommend using a quick cooking oat in this recipe.
- I used almond butter, but you can substitute cashew butter or peanut butter.
- I used a combination of dried fruit, dates and mango, in my cookies. You can use any one dried fruit or a combination of 2 or 3 as long as the total is 3 tablespoons. You may also use freeze-dried fruit if you prefer.
- You can use stevia, sugar, or omit the sugar altogether if you don’t have much of a sweet tooth. I do and I used 1 tables granulated sugar.
- The riper the banana the sweet it will be. If you have a very ripe banana, you may want to use less sugar.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 days.
