Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Cookies (Egg & Dairy Free)
This post originally appeared on What’s Cooking With Ruthie where I’m a monthly contributor.
A couple weekends ago my husband invited my family over for dinner. I had already made this Yogurt Lime Cake for dessert but my niece is allergic to eggs and dairy so I wanted to bake something just for her.
I thought these Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Cookies would be the perfect dessert for her but two things happened. One, I added chocolate chips (which contain dairy, oops!) and two, she didn’t end up coming over. I guess adding the chocolate chips didn’t matter after all! So, if you want these cookies to be both egg and dairy free, just omit the chocolate chips!
These cookies turned out moist and chewy and had the perfect amount of sweetness to them. If you’re okay with dairy then I would highly recommend adding the chocolate chips…..so good! My kids were even eating these for breakfast in the morning. Fruit, honey and oats – sounds pretty healthy to me!
I’m sure you could experiment with different kinds of fruit to suit your tastes. You could also add more or less honey and even throw in some nuts or peanut butter for some protein. I’m sure the possibilities are endless!

- 1 banana

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a medium sized bowl, mash banana and strawberries together with a masher until there are no longer any chunks. Stir in vanilla, honey, oats and optional chocolate chips. Using a cookie scoop, scoop out mixture and place on prepared baking sheet. Using a fork, gently flatten cookie slightly. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until cookies turn lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet and then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
