Banana Oatmeal Cookies
A healthy sweet treat
Ingredients
- 11/2 cups mashed bananas
- 1/2 orange or tangerine , juice only (optional)
- 11/2 cup oats
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup chopped raisins or dates
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mash the bananas and mix with the juice from the orange or tangerine to prevent browning.
- Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl using a spoon. Allow the batter to sit for 10 minutes.
- While the dough is resting, pre-heat the oven at 350°F and line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. If you don’t have those, grease the pan.
- Use a small cookie scoop or drop the dough by the spoonful onto the baking sheet. Flatten with a fork.
- Bake until firm on the top and golden brown on the bottom, 15-30 minutes. When using a silicone mat, it is on the longer side.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
