*Fresh cookies that satisfy any sweet tooth and are HEALTHY! These guilt-free cookies are packed with fiber, antioxidants & anti-inflammatory properties.*

Say hi to my ridiculously chewy, thick, and guilt-free diabetes cookies. WAIT…WHAT? I swear this is not a joke! **These guilt-free cookies will satisfy your sweet tooth and are the perfect treat for diabetics.** Why? Well… let’s dig into the details.
**Oatmeal:** Contains complex carbohydrates which are useful for managing blood sugar levels. Not to mention, oatmeal is a high fiber and low-glycemic food.
**Bananas:** [The ADA](http://www.diabetes.org/food-and-fitness/food/)outlined that individuals with diabetes should incorporate a diet that implements fruits and vegetables daily. Bananas are an all-natural source of carbohydrates and are full of potassium, fiber, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and manganese.
**Cinnamon:** Packed with a variety of protective antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, cinnamon has immune-boosting capabilities to help fight off infections and viruses.
**Apple Sauce:** This is at the top of my baking [**SWAP THIS FOR THAT**](https://www.livestrong.com/article/429838-how-to-use-applesauce-instead-of-oil-when-baking/) list. For guilt-free baked goods, applesauce can be substituted for many oils while containing the benefits of both fiber and various vitamins.
**BONUS!** I like to add heart-healthy walnuts & dark chocolate to my guilt-free cookies. Walnuts have always been known to improve heart-health; Yet, the newest research is showing that walnuts may even **[reduce the risk of Type 2 Diabetes](https://www.diabetesselfmanagement.com/blog/walnuts-may-reduce-type-2-diabetes-risk-offer-additional-health-benefits/)!**
---
**Prep Time:** 5 minutes
**Cook Time:** 15-20 minutes
**Ingredients:**
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 cups oats
- 3 Tbsp. milk (nut-milk works too)
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips, dried cranberries and/or walnuts
**Instructions:**
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir until well combined.
Place spoonfuls of mixture onto a greased cookie sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Remove from oven & let cool. ENJOY! *(makes approximately 20 cookies)*
