If you follow me on Facebook, you might have seen this funny meme I shared the other day. It’s a comic sequence of a woman eating holiday treats. She eats one, then another, then another, then another… each time claiming that it’s the last one. She finally just dumps the entire tin in her mouth, and declares, “Who am I kidding!”

I think we’ve all been there.

I love the holidays and all of the yummy treats that come with it, but I don’t always love all of the extra calories. It’s nice to have healthier options this time of year, and I knew I wanted to make a holiday treat that would still taste good, but without all the guilt. That’s where these Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies come in.

These cookies are sooooo addictive and it is hard to believe that they are lightened up! They’re made with good-for-you ingredients, like bananas, oats, and coconut oil, then sweetened with Born Sweet® Zing™ Baking Blend. Zing™ Baking Blend is made with stevia leaf extract and pure cane sugar, and has only 5 calories per serving!

I love that it sweetens these cookies with less calories and is made with only real ingredients, nothing artificial. Like I said, these cookies are really hard to stay away from! But, at only 80 calories each, you don’t have to feel as guilty about indulging in them!

    Yes, Ashlyn! Lol, every year this time I’m eating too much (because cookies like these are just too good to stop). What a great idea to lower the calories but still make fantastic cookies!
