Skinny Chunky Monkey Cookies are easy to make, low calorie baked treats with oats, applesauce, peanut butter, bananas and cocoa powder. 
I found an interesting recipe online for Skinny Chunky Monkey Cookies. The recipe contains no butter, no sugar, no flour, and no oil.
Hmmm… it sounded interesting, so I decided to check it out. I figured it was about time for me to make something that was low on sugar intake, and relatively “healthy”.
These little skinny chunky monkey cookies fit the bill for a nice, “not too sweet”, flavorful bites of goodness! Ripe bananas provide all the sweetness for these low-calorie treats!
These “completely easy to make” cookies can also be eaten as a tasty breakfast cookie. This is because they are made from oats, bananas, unsweetened applesauce, cocoa powder and a bit of peanut butter.
The recipe made 18 small cookies, and they were pretty tasty! Here’s how to make them.

How To Make Skinny Chunky Monkey Cookies
First you mash up some really ripe bananas in a large bowl. Once that’s done, it’s time to add the rest of the ingredients.
Stir all of this together until the ingredients are fully blended. The “dough” will be fairly thick. See how EASY this is?
This is what the cookie batter will look like after mixing it up. Once it’s fully mixed together, let the batter “rest” for about 15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F while the cookie batter is “resting”, because you will want it ready to go when the dough has rested.
Time To Bake These Cookies!
By now your oven should be preheated to 350°F. Drop the batter by Tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet, leaving some space between each dollop.
Bake the skinny chunky monkey cookies for about 10-12 minutes. They will darken as they bake.
Ready To Serve/Eat The Cookies
Once the cookies are finished baking, remove the cookie sheet from the oven. Let the cookies sit for a minute and then transfer them with a spatula to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Grab a cookie after it has completely cooled (they taste best at room temp!) and enjoy! The cookies have a nice and soft texture.
I hope you will give this recipe a try. They would be a great addition to a child’s lunchbox (especially since they are not packed full of sugar)!
