Welcome to my baking on a budget series, starting with this healthy Banana, Cinnamon and Oat Cookies recipe, sweetened with bananas. This is a recipe I have adapted from my usual cinnamon and oat cookie recipe, yet cheaper! I usually use a lot of honey in one batch of cookies which can be expensive, so instead I’ve used two ready to be thrown away bananas and it works a treat.

Banana, Cinnamon and Oat Cookies Baking On A Budget – Substitutions

You can tweak this recipe using whatever you have in your cupboards, thats the whole vibe here. Using up leftovers. Throwing in whatever left over seeds, nuts or dried fruits you have. You can use chocolate if you like left over from halloween, Christmas or easter. Just throw in what ever deliciousness you can find. You’re baking and decluttering at the same time, how cool is that? What a dopamine hit. If you don’t have any cinnamon, use ginger or leave it out completely! This is the baking on a budget way.

If you don’t have baking powder but you have baking soda, use 1/4 tsp baking soda.

No whole wheat flour? Certainly use plain flour instead.

Don’t have coconut oil? Go ahead and use butter.

No honey? Use maple syrup or sugar

Times are tough at the moment, food is expensive, so let’s inspire one another and keep up our creativity and the enjoyment of good food going. I hope you like the recipe and find it easy to follow. Let me know what you think in the comments below.
