I am writing this during the pandemic and have found that I have too many bananas in my house that need to be dealt with right now.

I also had a sugar tooth, so I thought I’d whip up some no-added-sugar cookies. Think banana bread but in cookie form! 

As you can imagine, I do not partake in dessert very often. I will opt for a couple of squares of dark chocolate (yes, you can have it on a low oxalate diet-portion, people, portion), but today was just one of those “I-am-bored-and-need-something-fun” pandemic kinda days. These hit the spot on all fronts.

    Hi Jill — I just discovered your site and am VERY glad to have found it, as trying to cook for my kidney-stone-prone father has been really tough thus far. THANK YOU FOR THIS.

    I’m wondering, can I use whole wheat flour and honey instead of oat/coconut flour and syrup?

      Hi Erika,
      You could use whole wheat flour and honey if you like. I like to keep the added sugar down very low but you may want to use honey and count that toward your daily sugar amount. Your kitchen, your rules!

      Hi Trish,
      You are correct, there is no way there are 73 carbs. I will recheck the calculator! Thanks!

      Hi Trish,
      73 calories are from carbs. There are only 19 carbs in the recipe.
      Thanks again!

    Wonder how these will come out if I substitute homemade applesauce instead of bananas.

    Hi Jill, Is there supposed to be an egg in this recipe? An egg is listed in the ingredients but no egg is mentioned in the instructions.

    Thank you for what you do!

        Mine are in the oven now and just trying for the first time. I did put an egg in the recipe because it is the 1st ingredient listed. I can’t wait to try them!

    I have the same question about the egg. It is listed in the ingredients, but it is not mentioned in the instructions. I beat it in with the bananas.

    My cookies came out thicker and brown.

    So should it be in the recipe?
    Thanks,
    Donna

“The Kidney Stone Diet is far more than just a diet; this plan is life-altering!”

“The group calls will transform you physically and emotionally. Once you start this journey, your health naturally improves. I have lost a total of 40 pounds and have consistently kept it off. The group calls are such support; this is more like family than a zoom meeting to stay accountable. Jill is far more than a nurse; she is a life coach. Her platform is invaluable.”

Kim J. | Kidney Stone Prevention Course

“The best decision I’ve made has been to join this group.”

“I have been working on weight loss for many years. This group has kept me on track and has helped my continued success with my weight loss.”

Kate L. | Group Calls with Jill

“I have been following the Meal Plan for about 6 weeks and I feel amazing.”

“Eating healthy has also encouraged me to go to bed earlier, so I am also getting more sleep. Because of that, I have been able to get up before work and exercise! So yes, the positive effects are spilling over into all areas of a healthy lifestyle.”

Jerry T. | Meal Plan Subscriber

“I have been a part of the group calls with Jill for the last 14 months, and they are essential to being so successful with the Kidney Stone Diet Prevention Plan.”

Sarah B. | Group Calls with Jill

“These calls are the gold of this program!!”

“I can’t say enough about how Jill knows just the right questions to ask us or how she prods us to think about what is going on in our lives.”

Monica K. | Group Calls with Jill

“I took the course with Jill, and my second 24 hour urine was MUCH better than the first.”

“She gives very practical information, and it WORKS. I was totally overwhelmed at first. I got very poor diet information from my doctors. Jill made it easy for me to understand, and I took it one day at a time. I still watch her videos when I need a tune-up. Jill is the best, and she really cares about all of us. Take the course—it will help you!!!”
