Healthy Oatmeal Cookies & Cream Delights

Ingredients:

3/4 cup softened butter

1 ripe banana

2 tsps. vanilla extract

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking soda

1 egg

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 cups unbleached flour

1 cup whole rolled oats

1 cup chopped cookies and cream candy bar

 

Yields: 60 cookies approx.

 

Directions:

Step 1: Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees. Take out a baking sheet and line with parchment paper. Chop cookies and cream candy (I used left over Easter candy).

Step 2: Combine the butter, sugars, banana and vanilla in your mixer  with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until incorporated. Then add in the egg, baking soda and salt.  Blend until an even consistency is achieved.

Step 3: Add in the flour slowly until incorporated. Then add in the whole rolled oats and finally the candy pieces.

Step 4: Using a small ice cream scoop, evenly place the cookie dough balls on your lined baking sheet, bake for about 7-9 minutes (until edges begin to turn light golden brown).  Remove and let cool for a minute before placing on a cooling rack. 

 

Enjoy!
