Oh hey, remember me?
Well I actually happen to have some recipes to share with you now that I finally found time to cook! I've been battling the flu since this past weekend so my apologies that my recipe comes to you on a Wednesday. Major blogger FAIL I know. But hey, I promise this recipe was worth the wait!
Cheesy?
Yeah get over it.
Let me just begin by saying, these cookies have absolutely NO eggs, oil, sugar or butter.....BOOM. A winner in my book already. Now I'm well aware those ingredients pretty much encompass everything that people love about a cookie, but these taste insanely good and without the guilt! Believe it or not they taste a lot like banana bread, probably because bananas are used as the main component which hold all the ingredients together. I subbed plain Greek yogurt for the oil and sweetened these up with some vanilla extract, cinnamon and allspice. I promise you, this recipe is definitely worth saving and is great for a quick breakfast when you're on the go. They also freeze really well too!

Here are your ingredients:
Recipe adapted from Anja's Food 4 Thought
1 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. allspice
1/2 cup mixed nuts, finely chopped (I used pecans, walnuts and almonds)
1 cup raisins
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In one bowl, combine rolled oats, coconut flakes, salt, cinnamon, allspice and chopped mixed nuts. Stir in raisins and set aside.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until smooth and all lumps are gone. Pour over dry ingredients and mix well.
Using a round cookie cutter (or shape with your hands), spoon mixture into the cutter pressing firmly then removing the cutter. Shape should keep form; do this until you have 20 cookies or you run out of batter. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 15 to 20 minutes and enjoy!
And a quick little update, I just saw a preview of my new blog design and can hardly wait to launch everything! I told my designer I wanted the gorgeous style of a wedding blog combined with delicious recipes and fun little details. She is definitely capturing my vision and I'm super excited to share everything with you all.
Until then, I hope you enjoy these cookies!!

These look amazing and 88 cals per cookie? I'm down!
Funny you should ask if I'm in need of a low-cal oatmeal cookie. I've been heating a TON of oatmeal (and, yes, sometimes in cookie form). New mom, here. But I have a feeling I need to watch the calories. Thanks for a great recipe! Can't wait to try it.
YUM! LOVE these! Now heres a cookie that can help with my baby weight! Can't wait to see the new blog!!
Oh my gosh...thank you or this! My mom and I have cut out sugar so this is PERFECT!
Mmm. Those look so good. Although, I would have a hard time eating just one.
These look so yummy! Beautiful pics.

This sound yummy! What can I use instead of the yogurt? My daughter cannot have dairy along with no gluten...she would love these, thanks!
These look SOOOOO good!! I want one right now! :)
So okay, I've tried quite a few healthy cookies recipes, but this one really sounds good. Guess I'll have to make another batch tomorrow ;)

These look so tasty! Great recipe and I love that there's no added flour or sugar. Thanks for sharing, Kelly!
I have to go gluten-free, and I've been dreading having to give up cookies. I'm definitely pinning this for a future cookie craving! :)
I am on an oatmeal kick lately. Looking forward to trying these. I keep almost everything on hand, so they'll be easy to make!
These look DELICIOUS!! Can't wait to try them :)
yumm this looks so good and I am always looking for some new baked good since we are gluten free. I am not a raisian fan but I feel like you could sub chocolate chips :)
Fabulous recipe! I love these kind of cookies! Perfect for grabbing on the go!!
Ummmm I need these cookies in my life, asap. I guess I'll be baking tonight! I'm a huge fan of your blog and cannot wait to see the new design :)
Dumb question alert! For the nuts, is it 1/2 cup mixed nuts before you chop them or after you chop them?
Not dumb at all Deborah! I measured a 1/2 cup after I chopped them :)
I can't wait to try these! I'm all about healthy dessert alternatives that taste even better than the original version!!! :)
What if you can't have nuts? Replace them or leave them out? Thanks!
these sound so delicious!! might need to give these a try with gf oats!
These look AMAZING!
Hope you have a wonderful day :)

If you can't have nuts, I would just leave them out! :)
These look and sound SO good! I love a healthy version of a favorite dessert :).
Stop it! these look amazing! I have to try.
I used to make a version of cookies sort of like this years ago with banana, oats, and I'd put a scoop of protein powder in the recipe to sort of 'glue' everything together and could keep them egg, flour and sugarfree. I'd use agave or stevia and actually kept them nobake. I love yours and makes me want to make them!
Could I switch the raisins for mini chocolate chips?
Could I substitute mini chocolate chips instead of raisins?
Jusr made these . They are delicious. They taste just like banana bread. Yummy will definitely be making these again. And healthy too. : )
I like your recipe. I am looking for diabetes recipe and I think this can be the one. All ingredients you used are very healthy. Thanks for sharing!
I am all about Guilt-Free right now so I LOVE these!
These just came out of my oven, and they're amazing!!! I used cranberries instead of raisins, and a splash of unsweetened almond milk instead of yogurt. Thanks for the recipe!
I can't wait to try these! I wanted to let you know that I featured this today in my "What I Bookmarked This Week post." Stop by and see!
Hi Kelly! You inspire me to still cook and eat even when I'm on diet! You never need to give up as long as we have an option to eat healthy, just like these cookies. Look really delicious too!
These cookies look good enough to eat with Chamomile tea!
going to make these for easter i just happen to have all the ingrediants
Hey! this recipe looks great, but any suggestions for a substitute for the bananas while still keeping them low-cal!? (not a fan of bananas)
Sara you could try unsweetened applesauce! :)
I just made these and they are delicious!!! They get browned on the bottom and that seems to give them an almost buttery taste and brings out a slight hint of salt. Perfect healthy cookie!!! I used fat-free organic Greek yogurt.
