Banana, egg, and yogurt cookies

Banana, egg, and yogurt cookies sound like a delicious and healthy treat! Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe banana, mashed
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt (Greek yogurt works well)
• 1 cup rolled oats (you can also use oat flour or almond flour for a gluten-free version)
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
• A pinch of salt
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips or dried fruit (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add the egg and yogurt, and mix until fully combined.

3. Add dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the oats, baking powder, cinnamon (if using), and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until well mixed.

4. Add optional ingredients: If you’re using chocolate chips or dried fruit, fold them into the dough at this point.

5. Form the cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You can flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon if you want a flatter cookie.

6. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies start to turn golden.

7. Cool and enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These cookies are naturally sweet from the banana and have a soft, chewy texture. Perfect for a snack or even breakfast
