BANANA OATMEAL COOKIES

Category: Cookies

4 very ripe bananas
1-1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce
3 tbsp butter
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups uncooked oatmeal
2 cup flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
3/4 cup raisins

Slice and dice the bananas into a bowl: you should have about 1-1/2 cups of banana. Stir in the applesauce, butter, eggs and vanilla. In a larger bowl, mix together the dry ingredients and raisins. Add the fruit mixture to the dry ingredients; stir until blended and set aside for 5 minutes.

Spray four cookie sheets with vegetable cooking spray. Drop the cookie batter on the sheets by rounded tspfuls, 1 inch apart. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 350 degrees, or until the cookies are light golden brown. Makes 5 dozen cookies.
