These cookies are healthy enough to eat for breakfast on the go, and they make a great snack or dessert, too! They're easy enough that the kids can help to make them, and they may even come up with some other delicious combinations of fruits and spices on their own.
Ingredients
  • 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 Tbs pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean powder or 2 tsp alcohol-free vanilla extract
  • 4 ripe bananas, mashed (or pureed in a food processor with "S" blade)
  • ½ cup raisins
  • ½ cup frozen or fresh blueberries
Instructions
  1. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl, then stir in mashed banana (and vanilla extract, if using).
  2. Mix well to incorporate all of the dry ingredients, then stir in raisins and berries.
  3. Drop onto a silicone or parchment paper-covered baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 350°.
Notes
Feel free to add in chopped nuts (walnuts are delicious), and carob or cocoa powder work well, too!
