Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats gluten free, if needed
3 large bananas mashed (approximately 1.25 cups) * See notes
1/2 cup almond butter can substitute for any nut or seed butter ** See notes
1/2 cup raisins
1 tablespoon cinnamon optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all of your ingredients except for your raisins, and mix well. Fold through your raisins using a rubber spatula.
Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form 12 balls using the cookie dough. Transfer them onto the lined tray and place around 1-2 inches apart. Press down on each cookie to form a cookie shape (they will not spread, so make them your desired size and thickness).
Place them in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until slightly golden around the sides.

Notes

* You can substitute the banana for unsweetened applesauce or pumpkin, but it won't be as sweet.

** Peanut butter, sunflower seed butter, tahini, or cashew butter.

If you prefer sweeter cookies, please add some brown sugar, coconut sugar, or maple syrup.

TO STORE: Store leftover cookies in the fridge, as they will spoil quickly if left at room temperature. Keep them in a sealable container or covered on a plate. They will keep fresh for up to 7 days.

TO FREEZE: Either freeze the cookies together, or in single serving portions. Place them in a ziplock bag and store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
