Healthy Banana Cake Batter Cookies (and a Starbucks Giveaway)
Has anyone seen the new special edition “cookie dough” Oreo Cookies in the grocery store? Holy yum.
I saw them pop up on my Instagram feed a few days ago and purposely avoided going anywhere near the cookie isle while shopping. I am doing so well on my diet and I think those might trigger a sugar relapse.
I rewarded myself by making these instead.
I can’t believe how easy they were (only three basic ingredients). Not to mention that they really do taste like cake batter!
The bananas make them soft and a bit gooey in the center, the sprinkles make them fun, and the dash of “Vanilla Butter & Nut” (or pound cake) flavoring is exactly like cake batter.
My husband loved them but I have to be honest…. I ate most of them before he had a chance. But based on the ingredients that means I only had a few bananas and some oats!!!
Cake batter cookies while sipping on my morning coffee … not a bad way to start off Sunday.
Starbucks and I would like to wish you a Happy Valentines Day! Leave me a comment with your email address (so I can reach you if you win) and how you like to spend your Sunday mornings those who are special to you to you and the winner will receive a special Valentines Day gift box from Starbucks.

Healthy Banana Cake Batter Cookies (Makes about 18-24 cookies)
3 large old bananas
1 cup of oats (regular old fashion oats)
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (optional, replace with more oats if you don’t like coconut)
1/2 tablespoon Imitation Vanilla Butter & Nut Flavor (They should carry this in the baking isle of most large grocery stores, I got it at Wegmans)
A few dashes of rainbow sprinkles
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Add your bananas to a large bowl. Slice them up a bit. Add your oats and coconut and mash them all together until semi smooth. Mix in your tablespoon of cake batter flavor and sprinkles.
3. On a greased cookie sheet form small balls of the “dough”. Flatten the balls with your hand and bake for 15 minutes.

These sound amazing! What a great way to satisfy cookie cravings without blowing your diet! Love it, thanks for sharing! While I’m commenting I can’t pass up the opportunity to win some Starbucks! Rob and I spend our lazy Sunday mornings on the couch with a hot breakfast, coffee, CBS Sunday Morning and the crossword puzzle 🙂
I follow you on Instagram. FYI, the cookie dough Oreos are over rated! But the marshmallow krispy ones are delicious.
I like to do my grocery shopping on Sunday mornings and I always do it at Kroger because they have a Starbucks inside! I can have my coffee, and a usually quiet and fairly empty store.
I did banana oat cookies last week too but just added chia seeds and craisins…I want to add chocolate chips next time 🙂 Here’s my email whitney —at— athayde —dot—com and I already follow you on Instagram!
These cookies look delicious! If I had some, I would probably eat them on Sunday morning too! Love hanging out on Sundays (during the winter) with the wood stove going, staying nice and warm. I also follow you on Instagram 🙂
We go out to breakfast on Sunday mornings
On Sunday mornings, we have our little-one snuggle in bed with us so we can get an extra hour of sleep & then we get up and start the day with breakfast and cartoons.
Sunday morning we have some tea and toast and read the paper. It is a morning to be a bit lazy and we get a slow start.
We love having pancakes and omelette for breakfast on Sunday mornings.

I like to sleep in on Sunday morning and when I do wake up eventually (lol), make homemade latte. I don’t have a machine so I need to steam the milk and foam it myself that’s why there’s no time to do it during the week!

We enjoy coffee (Starbucks) at home, a good breakfast and 30 minutes of CBS Sunday Morning before getting dressed for church. We finish watching CBS with our lunch. It’s a great show- I highly recommend it.

My sunday mornings are spent with a steaming cup of coffee in my favorite Spongebob Squarepants mug (did I mention I am 28 going on 7?) with the most amazingly sweet man on the planet and watching the CBS Sunday morning show. We leisurely stroll back and forth from the kitchen to the living room listening to Charles Osgood, Mo Rocca and the gang while we make breakfast. I love that we are starting a tradition. I love your ideas, read your blog religiously and now, I follow you on instagram 🙂 My email is kmacdoogz@gmail.com

My favorite part of my Sunday morning routine is coming home from church and cooking brunch with my sisters in the kitchen. It doesn’t matter what we’re cooking as long as we’re doing it together and rocking out to motown music from the 50s and 60s 🙂
