I recently came across this recipe online - and since there are very few "no-sugar-added" cookie recipes - and I had 2 over-ripe bananas - I decided to give it a try.
A few people commented that the cookies in the picture bear no resemblance to those made by the recipe - and that's true! Not sure why someone would post a totally different picture... unless they just want you to click on a link...
So, if you come across this recipe photo elsewhere online - don't click on any accompanying links!!
I did a screengrab of the picture above only. When I made them, the cookies looked like this...
They are very dense and ... I guess "tough" is the word. But otherwise, they weren't bad! My father would have happily dunked them in his coffee!
I did modify the recipe a bit, using regular milk instead of oat milk. Two bananas only. I also added a "pinch" of baking powder, hoping to make them lighter in texture. Not sure it had any impact.
I also baked them in my silpat muffin forms. Next time, I'll just drop spoonfuls of dough on my silpat cookie sheet. I think they'll hold together.
So, if you're trying to live an added-sugar-free life, these cookies may be something you'd like to try. Raisins or chopped dried fruit would make them totally free of added sugar - but I did the chocolate chip version on this my first try!
