Breakfast Cookie

  • 3 mashed bananas (ripe)
  • 1/3 cup apple sauce
  • 2 cups uncooked quick-cooking oats
  • 1/4 cup skim milk
  • 1 tbsp Splenda, sugar or other sweetener.
    • 1/2 cup raisins (or any other dried fruit you want to add)
    • 1 tsp vanilla
    • 1 tsp cinnamon and
    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    2. Mix all ingredients in a bowl really well.
    3. Let this mixture stand for at least 5 minutes to let the oats become good and hydrated.
    4. Heap the dough by teaspoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet.
    5. Bake for 15-20 minutes and let cool.

    Variations: If you add some chopped nuts, you have a grab and go breakfast that includes protein as well as fruits and grains. Dried cranberries are also a great addition if you don't care for raisins, which some people don't. Cardamom fans may want to substitute that spice for the cinnamon.
