Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten free rolled oats*
  • 1 cup unflavored, unsweetened natural applesauce
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (your choice)
  • 1/4 cup chopped raisins or other fruit
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/16 tsp ground cloves

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet - any size - with parchment paper.
  • Mash two ripe bananas in a medium size mixing bowl.
  • Stir in applesauce, fruit, nuts, vanilla and spices until mixed.
  • Stir in oats, mix until well combined.
  • Drop by rounded spoonful (I used an ice cream scoop) onto parchment-lined baking sheet, any size. Flatten cookie with edge of spoon for a flatter shape as cookies will not rise or spread.
  • Bake until edges turn a slight golden color, approximately 20 minutes.
  • Remove baking sheet from oven and place cookies on wire cooling rack for 3 minutes with a spatula. They cool off quickly!

Notes

  • *You can use regular or quick cooking oats. I often use a mixture of both for texture purposes.
  • Storage: Best stored covered or in a container in the refrigerator for up to 6 days.
