Ingredients
-
1 ½ cups mashed bananas
-
1 ½ cups oats
-
½ cup chopped walnuts
-
½ Tablespoon vanilla extract
-
½ orange or tangerine, juice only (optional)
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
½ cup chopped raisins or dates
Instructions:
1. Mash the bananas and mix with the juice from the orange or tangerine to prevent browning. 2. Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl using a spoon. Allow the batter to sit for 10 minutes. 3. While the dough is resting, pre-heat the oven at 350°F and line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. If you don’t have those, grease the pan. 4. Use a small cookie scoop or drop the dough by the spoonful onto the baking sheet. Flatten with a fork. 5. Bake until firm on the top and golden brown on the bottom, 15-30 minutes. When using a silicone mat, it is on the longer side. 6. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Bonus Tips
Never waste bananas again! Peeled bananas can be frozen in an air-tight container to preserve them until you are ready to cook or bake with them.
