This recipe is special because it focuses on whole foods that provide real nutrition instead of empty calories that spike your insulin levels. Bananas are a great source of potassium and fiber which helps slow down the absorption of the natural fruit sugars into your bloodstream. The oats are a complex carbohydrate that keeps you feeling full for a long time so you do not find yourself reaching for more snacks an hour later. Using natural nut butter provides healthy fats and a good amount of protein which is essential for a balanced diabetic diet. There is absolutely no flour in this recipe which makes it naturally gluten free as long as you buy certified gluten free oats at the store. It is also completely vegan and dairy free which means almost anyone can enjoy these regardless of their dietary restrictions or lifestyle choices. The simplicity of the process means you can spend more time enjoying your food and less time cleaning up a messy kitchen or reading long ingredient labels. It is a recipe that empowers you to take control of your health while still having fun with your food.

Extra Tips for Better Taste

If you want to take these cookies to the next level you can try adding a few extra things that do not change the base recipe too much. A tiny pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie before baking can really bring out the sweetness of the bananas and the richness of the nut butter. You could also stir in a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract or a dash of ground cinnamon to give them a warm and spicy aroma that smells incredible. For a bit of crunch you might want to add two tablespoons of chopped walnuts or pecans into the dough before you scoop it onto the tray. If your diet allows it you can even press a few sugar free dark chocolate chips into the top of each cookie for a more indulgent experience. Make sure you use the ripest bananas possible because the darker the skin the sweeter the cookie will be in the end. If your dough feels too wet you can add an extra tablespoon of oats but if it feels too dry you can add a tiny splash of unsweetened almond milk. Always store your leftover cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and chewy for up to five days.
