This is an extremely easy recipe for banana oatmeal patties that contains no oil, eggs or flour. Sugar is also optional, which means it is really 'skinny' but surprisingly filling. It was made by trial because I had too much bananas that were ripened till almost brown. Instead of throwing them out, 'waste not want not' is always my motto, so I decided to turn them into patties with whatever ingredients in my pantry. You may make these and chew on them in between meals as snacks!
Utensils
Measuring cups and spoons
Ice-cream scoop (optional)
Baking sheet
Mixing spoon
Cookie spatula
Parchment paper
Ingredients
2 cups mashed very ripe bananas (approximately 4 large bananas)
1-1/2 cups quick cooking oats or minute oats
1 handful of roasted and coarsely chopped almonds
2 tablespoons unsweetened desiccated coconut
1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
Method
1. Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside until ready to use.
3. Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix until evenly combined. It looks like a thick paste.
4. Using an ice-cream scoop, scoop paste onto the lined baking tray. Space out the paste and flatten it to roughly 1/4" thick with the back of a spoon or fork.
5. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 25 minutes.
6. Remove from oven and using a heat resistant cookie spatula, turn over the patties and return to the oven to bake for another 5-8 minutes until they are dry to touch or nicely brown.
7. Once done, remove from oven and slip them onto a wire rack to cool. Start snacking! Can keep 1-2 days in a lock-lock lunch box. Enjoy without worries of putting on too much extra weight!!!
Makes approximately 12 patties
