Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 2 medium-sized Ripe bananas
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Raisins (or chopped dates)
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the unsweetened applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the raisins (or chopped dates) and chopped nuts (if using).
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Lightly flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon to create an even shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
