Saw It! Pinned It! Did It! Two Ingredient Banana Chip Cookies

Have you seen it? The "pin" that says you can make cookies using just ripe bananas, oatmeal, and chocolate chips? 

It shows these beautiful pictures, making it look so incredibly easy, and yummy!

So I had to try it. I figure if they come out like they say they will, they could almost be breakfast! LOL! 

My attempt started with mashing two ripe bananas (not over-ripe, but not brand new either.) I mixed in 1 cup of quick oats, and maybe a 1/4 cup of chocolate chips. The recipe says you could also add in nuts or coconut, but I figured I would start simple..... after all, my sister Jenna is the baker in the family, definitely not me! 


They actually looked exactly like they do above in the bowl and on the tray. I had seen another pin that said to roll them to look like this: 

but they were WAYYYYYYY too wet and sticky to make anything that pretty. 

I baked them in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.... This is what I got. Again, not as pretty as the picture, but not gross to eat. 

I've been trying to think about how I can describe them.... and pretty much I can say they taste like bananas in oatmeal..... clever, right? ;) Would be another great (and quick!) way to use up those bananas before they go bad.... but I'm not necessarily going to WAIT for that to happen either. ;)
