Did I draw you in with that one? Oh yeah! 🙂 Drew me in, too!
Yesterday morning as I was relaxing after my run, I came across one of my favorite blogs, hungryandfit. (check her out, she’s awesome). She had a post about 3 ingredient cookies that I was IMMEDIATELY drawn to. You all know me, healthy baked goods? I’m there.
With that picture, I was immediately drooling. Well I took her recipe and kind of ran with it, creating something a little different but delicious with what I had on hand.
Enter my treat for last night: Banana Peanut Butter Graham Cracker Cookies.
Banana Peanut Butter Graham Cracker Cookies
Takes 5-10 minutes prep
Ingredients
- One LARGE banana or 2 tiny bananas
- 1 cup of processed graham crackers
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/2 cup of reeses pieces
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 and grease (well) your baking pan
- Put your graham crackers and cinnamon in the food processor and pulse until small pieces and put aside into a large bowl.
- Cut up your large banana into pieces and process the pieces in the food processor until mush
- Mix together with the graham crackers in large bowl
- Add the reeses candies
- Bake for 12-15 minutes and enjoy!
This recipe is pretty flexible. You could really add anything into the “batter” of graham crackers and banana. Think chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts, etc. I just love peanut butter, and reeses, so I had them on hand 🙂
Taste Review
All together, they’re pretty good! They’re simple, healthy, and minimal on the ingredients, which I love. I will admit, they are not cookies, so know that going in. They are good, but I would need to switch them up if I did them again. They taste healthy, and as someone who likes that, they work just fine! BUT, if I were making these for a group, I’d probably add sugar to the mix to sweeten it up some more.
Thanks again for the great baking experimental motivation hungryandfit!
I hope you all enjoy this recipe!
Wow good call with the Reese’s pieces!! Also, totally forgot to tell you, we were in Denver yesterday! Oh well, it’ll happen sometime. Cheers!
AHH! Yeah definitely let me know next time you’re here! 🙂
Oh I WILL try these!!
Those look delicious! Do you know the approximate nutrition info for one?
hungryandfit had them for her versions, but I have no idea for mine. My guess would be about 130-145 for each cookie, anhttps://widgets.wp.com/notes/?v=20130816#d it makes about 8 cookies.
