SoberGanja: Having made these in the past, just a psa, they’re pretty bland and boring. It’s the kind of food you keep telling yourself tastes good while you eat it.
better_bot: Before clicking: “omg is this a bacon, egg, and cheese cookie?”
After clicking: *disappointment*
Onoudient: Do yourself a favor and add a sweetener (honey, brown sugar, white sugar), some cinnamon, and vanilla extract. These will taste horrible as pictured. I also feel like they’d be terribly dry. I’d add some milk.
Lilebi: Why would anyone choose anything other than chocolate chips?
Except maybe chocolate chips *and* peanut butter.
Killzark: Step 1. mash ingredients up in a bowl

LtBud: Eww eww eww!

ONE INGREDIENT BOILED EGG
TheRealBigLou: Having made these in the past, just a psa, they’re really delicious. It’s the kind of food some people who have a sweet tooth will say is bland and boring, but I’m sure most people will really enjoy.
But seriously, I really like these. Bananas have a lot of sugar in them, so these come out nice and sweet. They don’t spread like normal cookies, so you have to smash them into a cookie shape before baking. Personally, I keep them in little mounds from our cookie scoop and enjoy them like little truffles. Also, our daughter loves them and they are a healthy, sweet snack.
TenInchesOfSnow: Okay this 3 ingredient recipe thing needs to stop especially if these ideas produce shitty results
Salty_Caroline: I honestly love these cookies! I add a bit of oil and vanilla, and always add a bunch of things like coconut, chocolate chips, and dried cranberries, sometimes also nuts. They’re the opposite of dry, and definitely sweet enough with all the added bits.
Hilooo: They left the doodoo part of the banana.
Jeptic: I’m a fan of banana at all. Is there another fruit that can work as well?
lazercheesecake: MM bananas in baking! A chef’s dream when it comes to vegan-friendly fare. Though its pretty en vogue to hate vegans, some people by choice or by fate have dietary restrictions that preclude many things including eggs. As a result you can use one small ripe mashed banana for every large egg in a baking recipe. Simple oatmeal and banana cookies are a simple, tasty way to make sure everyone can enjoy.
If I could add just one thing to the recipe, it would be just a pinch of salt to help bring out the flavors and prevent the cookies from being bland. Just because its vegan doesn’t mean you have to intentionally make it taste bad. Though if you actually want something that tastes good over something super simple (I’ve seen too many of these 2/3 ingredient recipes here of late) I would suggest investing more time in finding a better recipe with more complexity and to use that instead.
Cosmic_Bride: This is so funny. I have been eating oats with fresh banana and water for years. I never thought to bake it into a cookie. Will try this weekend
boohoopooryou: Ingredient debauchery
Druston: I make the peanut butter ones for my dogs… More specifically, I add more oats to make it a bit more of a dough-like texture, roll them into bite-size balls, and freeze them.
I wouldn’t eat them myself (mostly ’cause I hate banana), but they rather enjoy it.
SweetDick_Willy: Oh hell nall
Jacobbordeaux: You lost me at “oats”
MonkeyOnYourMomsBack: “3 ingredients” and then they show 9
