2 Ingredient Cookies

May 13, 2023 Amanda Plott

I didn’t think it could be done, but yes - cookies can be made with a mere two ingredients. These 2 Ingredient Cookies are super east to make, because it’s just two ingredients, and they’re great as a snack, or even for part of a breakfast or lunch. So what are the two ingredients? Oats and banana. The oats do need to be quick oats and the banana has to be overly ripe. Other than that? There’s nothing more to them!

There aren’t any tricks to these cookies. They do end up being vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, low fat, and bunch of other things that make them into not only one easy cookie, but a healthy one too. I’ve been enjoying mine as part of my lunch with apple slices, peanut butter, and some other snacks treats…

Monster Cookie Baked Oatmeal

Out of all the cookies out there, I think that monster cookies are probably my favorite. That’s probably because they have just a little bit of everything that I love. Chocolate, oats, nuts, peanut butter… they’re perfectly balance with a little sweet and a little salty. Since monster cookies already have oats in them, I thought why not put the rest of monster cookie goodness into the oats!

This Monster Cookie Baked Oatmeal is now one of my newest favorite breakfasts. It tastes just like a monster cookie but in the form of oatmeal. And who doesn’t like to find an excuse to have chocolate and candy for breakfast?…

Blackberry Oat Bars

How many times now have I said that weekends are for baking? Many, many times! These Blackberry Oat Bars are little bites of oatmeal base with fresh blackberries peppered in for a little bit of tart among the sweetness of the bar. And I’ve got to say too, these are super easy to make.

The oatmeal base for these bars is made all in own bowl, and the blackberries are sandwiched in the middle to bake into perfect little bars that you can enjoy for breakfast, brunch, or even as a snack!…

Blueberry Poptart Stuffed Blended & Baked Oatmeal

Do you like pop tarts? Do you like blueberries? Then you’ve got to try this Blueberry Poptart Stuffed Blended & Baked Oatmeal! Okay, so I know that’s a mouthful, but it’s important to get the point across that these oats are blended into basically an oat flour and then used to make a cakelike or muffinlike base. So even if you aren’t a fan of oatmeal usually, you may like this blended option!

It’s a super clever and simple way to get some oatmeal in your life without the usual oatmeal texture. To make these oats even better, I stuffed them with blueberry goodness and topped it all off with a drizzle of glaze and some rainbow sprinkles, because sprinkles are life…

Chunky Monkey Blended & Baked Oatmeal

So, you know that famous ice cream flavor that we all know and love? Yeah, I sort of turned that into one of the best oatmeals I’ve ever eaten. And if you aren’t a fan of oatmeal - this might be just the right recipe to get you turned onto it! Blending up the oats into more of a powder takes away that oat texture but you still get all the health benefits.

This Chunky Monkey Blended & Baked Oatmeal ends up being vegetarian and gluten free. The oats and banana are pureed together before chocolate and walnuts are stirred in. It’s all baked up together to make two servings of a delicious ice cream inspired treat….

Strawberry Pop-Tart Overnight Oats

Just a few more weeks and my kiddo will be out for summer. And these last few weeks are always super DUPER busy. In order to avoid skipping out on breakfast in the morning, I like to have a few things on hand that I can grab-and-go eat with no excuses and no guilt. That’s where these Strawberry Pop-Tart Overnight Oats come into play.

Overnight oats are tasty, easy to make, and an excellent thing to meal prep. The oats themselves are left overnight in a mixture of almond milk, greek yogurt, some sweetener, and real-deal cake batter flavor. They’re also stuffed full of strawberry goodness and then topped off with a drizzle of frosting and even rainbow sprinkles!…
