Easy Blueberry Banana Oatmeal Cookies from Making It Grow
/I had the honor of flying to South Carolina to film two cooking segments on the Public Television show Making It Grow. I adore this show (they teach you all about plants!). I LOVE to cook plants and help people Shed Pounds Sustainably by eating A LOT of them (without counting, weighing or measuring!).
On this segment, I show you how to make Easy Blueberry Banana Oatmeal Cookies.
Here’s why you want to watch…
These cookies are SO easy and simple.
My favorite part – before these are cookies, it’s just oatmeal from the microwave! So, it’s actually two recipes in one!
Once the microwaved oatmeal is done, you can eat it as is or bake it as bars or cookies!
Click play below to watch the episode and keep scrolling for the recipe! My segment starts at 16:51 (if you don’t want to watch the whole hour show although I do recommend it — especially if you like gardening!).
Onto the recipe…
