Skinny Monkey Cookies

[PHOTO COMING SOON!]

Love no-bake cookies but don't want all the added sugar? Here's a recipe for chocolatey, peanut buttery cookies that use bananas and applesauce as sweeteners instead of sugar! Every time someone tries these cookies they think I'm lying when I tell them they are healthy! 

Skinny Monkey Cookies

Ingredients:
4 very ripe bananas
3 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 cup peanut butter (salted)
1/2 cup cocoa almond butter
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. salt
Dash of cinnamon (optional)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350. 
2. Mash bananas in large bowl. 
3. In separate bowl, heat peanut butter and almond butter in microwave for 45 sec-1 min or until melted. Add to banana mixture. 
4. Stir in remaining ingredients. Let batter stand approximately 30 minutes.
5. Drop batter by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.
6. Freeze, refrigerate or enjoy them all right away!
