Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Balls

Hello there, check these balls out!
This is one of the most interesting “cookies” I have ever made. There is no butter, sugar, flour, baking soda, vanilla…nothin in them. Weird right? Yes, I think so. The recipe calls for bananas, oats, peanut butter and chocolate chips – actually kind of healthy! I had no idea how these would bake or taste but I had to find out.
Out came these browned round cookies. I was intrigued…I honestly thought they would melt out everywhere.
They taste just like the ingredients – it’s really amazing. First you taste oatmeal, then peanut butter, then chocolate and the banana is the underlying flavor – at least this is what my soon to be father-in-law said. Vin said the same thing….like father like son. 🙂
The cookies are chewy and dense, a little like eating oatmeal but in a ball, no? To be honest, I prefer a cookie made with butter, sugar, eggs…all the fixin’s’ but for only 4 pretty healthy ingredients this cookie is worth trying. It makes me wonder what other cookies I can bake without butter? Probably won’t happen too often, but I’m willing to try a few more. 😉
Now go have a WONDERFUL weekend!
- 2 ripe bananas

The calorie count depends on what size you make them. I made 21 with the recipe, someone else made 12. Mine were 49 calories per ball.

These are so good! Much easier than banana bread but taste just like it! My family loves them so I’m doubling the recipe next time.
