What I'm Reading This Week #35

Howdy do and happy last Friday of August!  I hope you had a good week and if your weather was like ours, it was FINALLY under 93 degrees.  Don't get me wrong, I know sweater weather isn't here but it was nice to not have the AC working overtime (set to 76) starting at 11am every day!   It was nice to not walk out to water the garden and walk into a wall of humidity so I will take what I can get.    Speaking of which: With this 3" San Marzano , I shall be able to make enough sauce to cover 7.3 spaghetti noodles. 😒 Now let's get to: How to Stock Your Pantry for Quick & Easy Meals in Minutes   (Ooh, I need to crockpot some black beans for some sweet potato black bean burritos.)

3 Ingredient Banana Bread Cookies



Anyone else play the game "do my most ill-fitting jeans still fit" and lose?

Just me?

Well, if you still need some comfort food whilst reigning things in a bit, these can do the trick.  There are only 3 basic ingredients needed but you can add a few others for extra flavor.

Ingredients
2 medium overripe bananas
1 1/4- 1 1/2 quick cook oats
1/3 - 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Optional Extras
1/8 tsp salt
Dash complimentary spice like cardamom, allspice, cinnamon, or nutmeg

Preheat the oven to 350F/177C.

In a bowl, mash two medium overripe bananas, add 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cups of quick rolled oats (steel cut will not work for this), and stir until combined.  Add 1/3-1/2 cup chocolate chips.  (I used Ghirardelli 60% but regular Nestle bittersweet taste really good too) and stir.

Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray or use a silicone baking sheet and make 6 cookies and mash down slightly with your hand or fork as cookies will not spread much as they bake.

Bake for 13-15 minutes or until cookies are set up.  Allow to cool for 5 minutes on the tray. 

Never feel guilty about having a few cookies during this time for breakfast again.  😉

    What a great idea to make these with the bananas that were about to be wasted otherwise. They turned out great and were a nice surprise for a snack in my case. I loved them!
