My folks moved house yesterday and when I got home late last night the last thing I felt like doing was bake those cookies I promised, but I decided to just get on with it and got Etienne to help. Boy am I glad I did!
5 Ingredients, 10 minutes to put together, 15 minute rest time and 17 minutes in the oven. I had to stop myself from scoffing down a whole pile of them!
I found the original recipe here.
Sugar-free banana cookies
Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees C
- 3 bananas, mashed (we had little ones, overripe)
- 250g dates (one of those blocks, chopped finely)
- 1 and 3/4 cup oats
- 1/3 c oil (I used avocado oil, but I’m sure you can use any oil)
- 1tsp vanilla essence
Mix everything together and let it sit for 15 minutes to let the flavours mix. Then you drop spoonfuls (I use the tablespoon measuring spoon for this) on a baking tray and make in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Keep your eye on them until they are nice and brown and take them out.
Voila!
- The kids’ snackboxes today
This morning I packed those cookies in for the kids along with a cheese wedge and some Crackerbread with some Black Cat Sugar and Salt free Peanut Butter.
Tomorrow I think it will be rice cakes with cheese and ham, I still need to figure out their snacks, but I’ll keep you posted!
For lunch today I’m having some rice cakes with fat free smooth cottage cheese with tomato and cucmber stacked on top with some cracked black pepper. Quick and easy.
For supper we are taking my folks food as their new house has too little space and too much stuff, so we are probably going to make some ovenbaked risotto that we can start at home and rush over and stick in their oven and forget about until we are ready to eat. I’m still deciding what to put in as Etienne has declared tonight a no-chicken night, but it will be along the lines of this recipe. It is one of our favourite foods to make because it is so easy and you literally only need a sharp knife, a chopping board, a wooden spoon and a pot. (Except for the carbs, but I’ll just close my eyes tonight)
So, what did you plan to feed everyone today?
You are very brave to go sugar free not that we eat sugar per say but I guess there is so much of it hidden in what we do eat! The cookies sound great will have to give them a bash. Good luck with the challenge! Cheers Fiona
Hope you tried those cookies, thanks for the support!
Great great lunches! I admire you!
I’ve bookmarked the recipe. It would seem that not all things that are good for you need to taste bad 🙂
Chicken ,rice and veg for supper.
Girls got usual sarmies of bouvril with cottage cheese(they live on this),sliced up apple and water.
