🛒 Ingredients:
-
1 ripe banana, mashed
-
1 cup old-fashioned oats
-
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
-
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
-
1/4 cup chopped almonds
-
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
Pinch of salt
💡 To keep these at 0 points, skip the mini chocolate chips or use a WW-approved portion that fits within your personal plan.
👩🍳 Instructions:
🔥 Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray.
🥣 Step 2: Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, oats, coconut, cocoa powder, almond milk, chopped almonds, optional chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until everything is well incorporated and the mixture starts to hold together.
🍪 Step 3: Form the Cookies
Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, portion the dough and place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one. Gently flatten each scoop into a round cookie shape using the back of your spoon or clean fingers.
⏱️ Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cookies are set and slightly firm to the touch. They won’t spread much, so shaping beforehand is key.
❄️ Step 5: Cool and Store
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3–4 days—if they last that long!
🍫 A Note on Points:
These cookies are designed to be 0 points on the Weight Watchers plan (without chocolate chips and depending on your personal ZeroPoint food list). The banana, oats, coconut, almond milk, and almonds are all point-free on many plans—making this a go-to treat that fits your goals and satisfies your cravings.
