No Added Sugar Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

Hi friends,

Are you trying to cut back on sugar but still want a little treat? These cookies are super easy to make and there is no added sugar! There is some natural sugar from the bananas – and I did add a few chocolate chips – but there is no refined white sugar in them. You can find the recipe here at CookRita. These are not an overly sweet cookie, but I think they will satisfy your sweet tooth. 😉

The cookie dough comes together quickly and you can have warm cookies in 20 minutes or less. I didn’t mix my chocolate chips into the dough – I just pressed a few chips onto each cookie before baking. My peanut butter did have some sugar in it, but you can easily make these with no added sugar by using sugar free peanut butter and if you want a little chocolate on your cookies , use sugar free chocolate chips

The recipe called for rolled oats, I only had quick oats in my pantry so I used those and the cookies still turned out great. My cookies were soft and chewy. I stored them in the fridge in an airtight container and popped them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to warm them up a bit before eating.

Over at CookRita she gives lots of other great ideas for add-ins and tips for making these cookies even tastier. One of my favorite things about this recipe is that it’s another great way to use up those overripe bananas that you just don’t want to throw away. 🙂

By the way, did you know you can freeze overripe bananas to use later? Just mash them up and freeze in freezer bags in the amount you’ll need for your favorite recipe. Thaw them in the fridge when you are ready to bake something yummy! 😋
