Banana Oatmeal Cookies (2 ingredients)

Ingredients:

1. One medium* banana
2. 1/2 cup* of quick oats

* doesn't matter how much you use--as long as you get a similar consistency (as shown below). 

Cooking method:

1. Microwave

Makes: 

• ~11 thin cookies
• 1.5" x 2" x .25"

Calories: ~250

Quick Directions:

1. Mash medium banana so that there are a few (small) chunks left.
2. Add 1/2 cup of oats.
3. Place small balls of mixture on plates.
4. "Smoosh" balls (fork, spoon, fingers...)
5. Microwave for one minute.
6. Flip cookies and cook at 30 second intervals.
7. Let cookies cool (they will harden).
8. Eat! I keep my extras in the fridge, but they're better fresh. 

Step by step:

nanner and quick oats

Mash so only a few chunks of banana remain.

Add half cup of oats! Doesn't have to be exact.

Plop on a plate and "smoosh" with a fork. For thicker (more
break-like) cookies, keep them as balls. 

Microwave one plate at a time. Each for one minute.

Flip cookies over! They may stick to the plate a little. 

Cook at thirty second intervals. If they start turning
reddish-brown, that means you're burning them.
I do two sets of thirty second intervals--letting
them cool a little in between. 

This thin!

Yum!

What a burnt cookie looks like..

Perfect.

I take a lot of pictures of food

Food brings people together. I like food. Other people like food. I live in a dorm. I'm limited to a microwave, but not my creativity. Must I explain myself? Or can I just start blogging?

........... and I will once I make some food
