These Healthy Cookies with No Sugar are naturally sweetened with ripe bananas and apple sauce—no flour, no refined sugar, and 100% wholesome. Packed with oats, dark chocolate chunks, and cinnamon, they make a delicious gluten-free, vegan-friendly snack, breakfast, or guilt-free dessert.

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1/3 cup apple sauce
  • 2 cups oats (old-fashioned preferred)
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1/4 cup raisins or chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chunks (sugar-free, such as Lily’s)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and position rack in the center.
  2. Make wet base: Mash bananas in a large bowl. Stir in apple sauce until smooth.
  3. Add flavor: Mix in vanilla extract and cinnamon.
  4. Add oats: Stir in oats until fully combined and coated.
  5. Add almond milk and mix-ins: Stir in almond milk, then fold in raisins/nuts and chocolate chunks. Reserve a few chocolate pieces for topping.
  6. Shape cookies: Scoop dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet into 12–15 portions. Flatten slightly with your palm.
  7. Bake: Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden around the edges and firm in the center. Rotate pan halfway through if needed.
  8. Cool: Let cookies rest on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

  • Use certified gluten-free oats for a GF version.
  • Swap almond milk for oat, soy, or coconut milk.
  • Add-ins like shredded coconut, dried fruit, chia seeds, or chopped nuts customize flavor and texture.
  • Cookies don’t spread—flatten before baking.
  • Ripe bananas are key for sweetness and texture.
