It always seems like a do more desserts than anything else on my blog, but can you blame me? Honestly, I believe you should eat dessert first before dinner because life is short. Today, we’re going to be doing a super easy 2 ingredient oatmeal cookies recipe! This is not my original recipe, and I’m honestly not sure who originally made it. In fact, you can probably find so many different recipes of this exact cookie- so thanks for choosing mine to look at! My favorite thing about this recipe is how versatile it can be. It’s really a lovely base to create more more unique versions of this!
2 Ingredient Oatmeal Cookies
Did I pour the oatmeal from the Quaker oats carton into this mason jar simply for aesthetics? Yes, yes I did. There’s no shame here!
I can’t express enough how important it is to choose super ripe bananas. You know those abandoned bananas you have left for way too long on the counter? The ones whose peel looks questionable and you’re terrified to find out what’s inside? That’s the type of banana you’ll need for this recipe!
Clearly, I made some pretty chunky cookies which made this recipe only 6 servings. However, you can make these any size you’d like. Heck, you could make one giant banana oatmeal cookie for all I care. It would still be beautiful and delicious!
Let me know what you guys this of this super easy 2 ingredient oatmeal cookie recipe! What toppings would you add to yours? I think next time I’m going to add some vanilla extract, a little almond milk, and some walnuts! Let me know yours in the comments or you can find me on Instagram!
