Drescription

Classic oatmeal cookies without all the sugar, these better-for-you gluten-free treats get their sweetness from ripe bananas and chopped dates.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups quick-cooking oats (see tip)
  • 1 cup oat flour (see tip)
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup chopped dates, preferably medjool, or raisins
  • ½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Combine oats, oat flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Mash bananas in a medium bowl until creamy. Add eggs, coconut oil (or butter) and vanilla; whisk until well combined. Add the dry ingredients and dates (or raisins) and coconut to the banana mixture; stir until combined. Roll tablespoons of dough into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet, making 15 cookies per batch. Press with a fork to flatten slightly.
  3. Bake until firm to the touch and lightly brown on the bottom, 15 to 17 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Cranberry Cheesecake

You can certainly use a thermometer to check if the internal temperature has reached 150º. However, if you’d prefer to avoid sticking holes in your dessert, the wobble cheesecake test is a better bet. Give the cheesecake a gentle rap on the side of the pan with a wooden spoon. The cheesecake should wobble just slightly if it’s done. It will jiggle and ripple if it’s not quite done yet.
