I found this recipe recently on Pinterest for Two Ingredient Cookies made with just banana and quick oats and then whatever you want to add to them. I've been dying to try them, but haven't had the time until tonight. So there I am, in the kitchen, looking at my pantry and not finding any quickoats, so I thought I'd try it with instant oatmeal. Thankfully it worked, and with the addition of some chocolate chips, they were a HUGE hit. Very soft, and smooth and the banana and chocolate worked very well together.
If you like this recipe, you should try the One Ingredient Banana Ice Cream.

Two Ingredient Cookies

2 Medium, slightly brown bananas
1 Cup quick oats

Preheat your oven to 350.
Mash your bananas, add in your quick oats and whatever else you want to add, and drop by the heaping teaspoon full onto a well sprayed cookie sheet. Don't add too much of your extras or the cookies won't stay together.
It is very important to spray your pan, because there is no fat in these cookies to keep them from sticking to the sheet.

The above recipe (with 2 Tbsp milk chocolate chips added) makes 14 cookies at 44 calories each! You can have more then one and not feel guilty... if you can keep them away from the kids that is.
Bake these cookies for 15 minutes and once cool enjoy!!
