Man, I'm really bad at this updating your blog thing, Haha. I'm going to make it my goal this year to update more often, and actually put up some crafts! I have been getting back into crocheting again, and I have lots of completed projects that I want to share with you guys! ^_^ But that is for another day..today I have a new recipe to share with ya'll! (I watch Paula Deen's cooking show too much -_-)
Six ingredient cookies! Okay, so the original recipe is actually only 2 ingredients, but I added a few extras to make them yummier! I stumbled upon this recipe a few days ago on Blogilates, which led me to google "2 Ingredient cookies" and I found a similar recipe on The Burlap Bag. I already had some ripe bananas on hand, which I had to hide since bananas disappear quick around here, so I figured I would try it out!
Okays guys..these cookies are amazing! Now just to warn you, they don't taste like your average sugar-filled, buttery cookie. Actually, I think they are even better than regular cookies. The key though is using extra ripe bananas so they are super sweet. :) No need to add any kind of sweetener! If you use raisins/and or nuts instead of dried cranberries, along with gluten-free oats, these are Gluten, Sugar, and Dairy Free!
Okay, I'm done rambling, here is the recipe!
