Banana Oatmeal Cookies (gluten, dairy, and sugar free)

So today I decided I was going to bake some cookies.  I've been dying for some yummy sweet treats but i didn't want all the calories and bad that come with it since I've been working on losing weight and trying to make a lifestyle change.  I went out on a limb today and made Banana Oatmeal cookies it is gluten, dairy, and sugar free so pretty much anybody can eat it and  you can substitute and add what you would like to these. 

All you need is:

~3 ripe bananas 
~2 cups oats
~ 1/3 cup applesauce (i had just made some homemade apple puree with nothing added so i used that)
~ 2 table spoons of peanut butter

PreHeat the oven to 350 degrees. Then you mash up the bananas till they are at a good consistency and add everything else in and mix up. Use a spoon to scoop out the cookies onto a cookie sheet about an inch apart. They don't rise or spread so you don't have to worry about them running together.  Then stick them in the oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes or until they are browned a little. 


They are delicious and the kids love them! I'm thinking about adding different things to it to see how I like it. You can add dried fruits, chocolate chips, any kind of nut, more or no peanut butter.  I feel like the possibilities with this is endless. And the best part is, is that they are not that bad for you. :)

I hope you enjoy!

God Bless
