Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 25 min
Ingredients: 2 cups Old-fashioned oats (or quick oats, either will work); 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon; 1/2 tsp salt; 1/2 tsp baking powder; 1 cup mashed ripe banana ((about 2-3 medium)); 1/2 cup Sugar-free almond butter (or nut butter of your choice); 1 tbsp raw honey (or maple syrup); 1 tsp pure vanilla extract; 1/4 cup chocolate chips

So I may have gained a little weight in 2024. Like the most I have ever weighed. Ever.

I decided 2025 would be the year to get back to a healthy weight and I decided to give Weight Watchers app a try. Game changer!

This has been eye opening on what ingredients are really tanking my weight even on those days I THINK I am eating healthy. Combining this with a 90% clean eating diet has me down 15 pounds in 6 weeks so far.

But ya’ll…the monotony of what I am eating is real. So here I go getting creative with my weight watcher points.

Now, depending on the ingredients you use (and which weight watchers plan you are doing) the points WILL vary. BUT for the cookies I made and on the blue plan, it is at only 3 points for one cookie.

Now, if you aren’t excited about this, let me explain – most typical cookies are 12 points and up for ONE cookie. And they have almost zero nutritional value. So let’s be excited for 3 points 😀

Here are some of the items I personally used in this recipe and LOVE to have on hand:

Equipment

Half sheet baking sheet

Ingredients

2 cups Old-fashioned oats or quick oats, either will work
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2-3 medium)
1/2 cup Sugar-free almond butter or nut butter of your choice
1 tbsp raw honey or maple syrup
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line half sheet baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
Mix oats, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon together in a bowl.
Add remaining ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon (or similar) until well combined, working all ingredients throughout.
Drop about 1/4 cup of dough at a time onto a baking sheet. This recipe should fit 12 perfectly onto one half sheet.
Shape cookies - they will not poof or flatten during cooking so shape how you want them.
Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Cookies will be extra fragile when warm so be careful when moving them to a plate.
