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!

73 carbs???….did you mean 7.3?.? Too many carbs for diabetic stone former
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!
Jill
Wonder how these will come out if I substitute homemade applesauce instead of bananas.
