not a baker. for sure. but these are yum. for sure.

i found these 2-ingredient cookies just yesterday on pinterest. and can you believe it? just a day later i not only made them, but they were darn good!

pinned here & original recipe here

when i went down stairs this morning to get my cup o' coffee, i saw that we had some super ripe bananas, and i remembered seeing this recipe. also in the back of my mind i was hoping i could get S to fall in love with a new cookie...a cookie that i would be more than happy to let him eat as much of as he wanted! (S has been in the "picky eater" phase. for a long time. so i'm always on the lookout for ways to get him to eat healthy...)

anyway, the recipe calls for just 2 ingredients.

2 old bananas

1 cup of oats

and then it allows for any other mix-ins you want! simply bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes on a greased pan. genius! so, of course, i went with chocolate chips...anything to help lure the smart little boy into eating something with bananas and oats, ha! i thought they were the best thing since legos. can you guess what my son thought? he took one bite, at least...

after this first batch, my mind raced with other ideas...i think my next batch will have honey and cinnamon. plus i'm thinking of taking the mixture and laying it in a thin layer on the sheet pan instead of lumps to see if it will get more crispy. i will keep making them different ways until S gives in! he loves honey and cinnamon and anything crispy!! on another day when S isn't around, i want to try a batch with coconut and cashews. he's allergic to nuts and coconut :(

whoa. on top of actually following a recipe and baking something, and it coming out better than edible, i've posted on my blog two days in a row!

two baby steps forward!!

happy monday everyone, and here's to a productive and goal achieving week...
