A Gentle Treat With Your Gut In Mind
Finding desserts that feel kind on flare-prone days can be tricky. If you need cookies for Crohn’s disease that are soft, simple, and satisfying, you are in the right kitchen. This easy bake puts comfort first, so you can enjoy a sweet bite while still managing Crohn’s disease with diet.
Cookies for Crohn’s disease made easy
Think soft cookies for Crohn’s disease that are gently sweet, naturally moist, and more forgiving on digestion. Bananas bring a mellow sweetness and potassium. Oats add soluble fibre, which forms a gel that can be easier to tolerate than rough, scratchy fibre. Almond flour keeps things tender, and maple syrup gives a steady, rounded sweetness without the sharpness of refined sugar.
- Low residue baking idea, blitz your rolled oats briefly for a finer texture.
- Prefer gluten free baking, choose certified gluten free oats.
- On a sensitive day, skip the chocolate chips and keep portions small.
- Want very soft edges, bake on the shorter end of the timing and cool on the tray for 2 minutes.
Why bananas and oats help
Ripe bananas are gentle on your stomach, and they pack potassium and a touch of vitamin C. Oats contain soluble fibre that can support regularity and, for some, steadier stool consistency. Together they make a gut-friendly cookie recipe that fits many Crohn’s disease diet preferences. Flare or no flare, small tweaks can make these digestible oatmeal cookies even calmer for your gut.
Make it yours
Like maple banana cookies, use a little extra cinnamon for cosy flavour. Need an almond flour cookie recipe that is nut free, swap ground oats for the almond flour for a similar texture. Looking for easy Crohn’s diet desserts, press the dough into bars and slice after baking. If you want banana oatmeal cookies for Crohn’s disease with fewer add-ins, keep it simple with just oats, banana, vanilla, and maple.

Some people can enjoy simple bakes in small portions. Our banana oat cookies are soft and modest in fibre, but personal tolerance varies.
Many do better with soluble fibre. Finely milled or quick oats may feel gentler than coarse oats for some people.
Ripe bananas are often easy to digest and add potassium. Tolerance differs, so start small and see how you feel.
Bake on the shorter time, then cool briefly on the tray. Ripe bananas and a little maple keep them tender.
Use certified gluten free oats, as regular oats can have traces. The recipe uses almond flour rather than wheat flour.
Skip chocolate chips on sensitive days. For nut free, use extra ground oats instead of almond flour.
