Why are oatmeal banana cookies a healthy choice?

Oatmeal is rich in fiber, slow-release carbohydrates, and beta-glucans —substances that help maintain stable blood sugar levels and lower cholesterol. Bananas add natural sweetness and contain potassium, vitamin B6, and antioxidants.

When you combine both ingredients, you get a nutritious snack with no added sugars that is also easy to make.
