BUCKWHEAT COOKIES RECIPE NO SUGAR
These cookies are sweetened with bananas and, therefore, do not require any refined sugar to make them.
Ripe bananas are so great to make cookies soft and super gooey! And fun fact; when bananas are ripe, the fruit starch turns into sugar, which is why we will use ripe bananas as a sweetener for this recipe.
If you have ripe bananas on hand, you can also try these Giant Chocolate Chips Cookies (only 3 ingredients), these Vegan Chocolate Stuffed Pancakes (gluten-free) or again these Chocolate Chips Muffins (oil-free | vegan).

Amazing! Super easy to do and delicious 🙂
Thank you so much Francis, happy to read you enjoyed the cookies!
what else can I use if I don’t have oat flour? can I just skip this flour?
If you have normal oats it would work great as well. You can blend your oats in a blender to make oat flour but the recipe also works with rolled oats. Another option would be to substitute with plain flour but this might affect the final result. I hope that helped, let me know how it goes!
Just tried this recipe and it is awesome! I love how the sweet taste of the banana melds with the slightly tart taste of the dark chocolate I used. The cookies are a great incentive for my work outs 🙂
I am so glad you liked it ? And I know right, it’s so awesome how you get a nutural sweet taste just with bananas!
