Healthy Banana Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  3. Add in the oats, raisins, honey (or maple syrup if you’re feeling adventurous), melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix it all up until you have a dough that looks like it could win a beauty pageant!
  4. Using a spoon or your hands (hey, you do you), scoop out dough balls and place them on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Don’t forget to show them some love with a gentle pat to flatten them out a tad.
  5. Pop those babies in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes until they’re lightly golden. Your kitchen will smell like a warm hug from Grandma!
  6. When the timer goes off, resist the urge to dive right in. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Patience is a virtue, especially when cookies are involved!
