Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Cookies Tips
- *If you want a moister cookie, add in another mashed banana and more agave, honey or maple syrup. By using quick oats, it will also help!
- Add-Ins: You can also add in coconut, slivered almonds, dried fruits, applesauce or other variations that you love!
- Deciding on which oat to use will decide the texture of your cookies? Here’s some help. (I prefer the rolled, which I used in this recipe), but if you want a softer cookie, go for the quick oats or a combo of the two.
- Rolled Oats: Thickest rolled oat, which retains its shape fairly well during baking.
- Quick-cook Oats: Thinner than rolled oats and cook more quickly, but retain less of their texture.
- More flavor? Add some ground cinnamon a little spicy sweetness, some nuts for crunch or go for the chocolate peanut butter drizzle on top.
Storing Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Cookies
- Storing: I like storing these cookies in the refrigerator in a sealed container. They stay moist and I like the texture how it tastes and they will last longer.
