Ok, the title is a little misleading.  The basic recipe to this “cookie” is two ingredients:  quick oats and bananas. And….they are called cookies for the lack of a better name.   With no added sugar or sweeteners, it is just like eating a bowl of oatmeal with mix-ins. The recipe for {2 ingredient} Oatmeal Cookies could not be more simple and easy to follow!  I have made these several times over the last couple of days and I have discovered that VERY ripe bananas and quick oats make the best cookie.  However, all the batches were good and I ate them all myself. [Note: These are great after school snacks, but even better mom-on-the-run snacks!]

Simply mash up 2 RIPE bananas, dump in 1 cup of quick oats, and your choice of mix-ins.  I threw in a handful of chopped walnuts and a handful of mini-chocolate chips.  Mix together.  Bake on a GREASED cookie sheet @350 for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are firm.

Quick breakfast, easy snack, late night dessert.  It all works!  Enjoy.
