Here’s a quick, easy and healthy way to turn those too-ripe bananas into a healthy, guilt-free snack.

The original recipe recommends adding dates but I’ve swapped them out for dried apricots (which are a big favorite in my house). You could also add 1/3 cup of unsweetened coconut or dark chocolate chips for variation.

These are drop cookies, but I flattened mine with a fork to make them more cookie-shaped. You can place them close together on a cookie tray, they don’t really spread, and with such quick preparation and only 20 minutes in the oven, you can serve up warm cookies and let your inner domestic goddess shine without raising a sweat!
