I’m calling these cookies “healthy” because a.) they aren’t loaded with sugar and b.) they contain squash.
(Well, pumpkin – but pumpkin is a squash last time I checked. Consider this your homeschooling lesson of the day.)
They are sweetened only with banana and a little maple syrup, which makes them low enough in sugar that I feel I can throw the word “snack” into the title as well, while also keeping my conscience clear.
I whipped these together yesterday morning using this banana oatmeal cookie recipe as my starting point, subbing pumpkin for flour and using maple syrup instead of white sugar.
