3 Ingredient Strawberry Oatmeal Cookies
Soft and chewy strawberry oatmeal cookies. These cookies are just 3 ingredients and don't contain any flour, eggs, butter or added sugar.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (76 g) chopped strawberries, chopped into 1/2 inch cubes, see note
- 1/2 cup (123 g) mashed ripe bananas
- 1 cup (88 g) quick oats
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Add chopped strawberries and mashed bananas to a large mixing bowl. Use a whisk to gently mash the strawberries in with the bananas. The strawberries do not need to be fully mashed, but just mashed enough so that some of their juices should be released and mixed in with the bananas. Mash until the mixture is uniform in color (your mixture should be a light shade of pink).
- Add in oats. Stir until the oats are evenly mixed and fully coated. Your cookie dough will not look like traditional cookie dough. It should look more like wet oats.
- Use a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop to scoop out cookie dough. Release cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the dough balls about 1.5 inches apart. Use the back of a metal spoon to press down on each cookie dough ball so that it forms a thick round disk. Smooth the sides of the cookie disks if desired. The cookies will not spread during baking so you want to shape the cookies to how you want the final outcome to be.
- Bake cookies for about 11 minutes or until cooked. When cookies are done, they should not stick to the lined baking sheet. Let cookies cool completely before removing them from the baking sheet with a cookie spatula.
Notes
- Chop the strawberries to approximately 1/2 inch cubes (slightly smaller is okay but no bigger than 1/2 inch). Measure out 1/2 cup of them for the recipe (or use a scale and measure 76 grams for the recipe). You will need approximately 4 regular-sized strawberries.
- You will need a little more than one banana to yield 1/2 cup of mashed bananas.
- The cookies are only lightly sweetened. If you want them sweeter, you can add chocolate chips, dried fruit or other mix-ins. You can also stir in 1-2 tbsp of sugar or honey to the cookie mixture (or however much needed to taste).
- If you want your cookies to have an even chewier texture and richer flavor, you can add 2-3 tbsp of natural peanut butter or almond butter (add it at the same time as the fruit). I usually do this to add some healthy fat to the cookies for my family, though I prefer eating the ones without the added peanut/almond butter.
- The cookies in the photos have almond butter added to them. If you don't add almond or peanut butter the cookies will turn out lighter in color.
- Uneaten cookies should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
