Banana Oatmeal Cookies


 









What do you do when you have lot of bananas and people who wont eat them? You bake them into cookies. This recipe is fast and easy... I saw it on a web site and turned it into my own recipe by making a few changes. A good idea to make it a fun time with kids, they can help making these cookies and they will enjoy it too.

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Pieces: about 12 to 15

Ingredients:
1. Instant oats - 2 cups (do not worry about plain or flavoured, if any flavour goes with banana, just use it. I used plain and maple brown sugar).
2. Bananas - 2 ripe
3. Sugar - 1/3 cup if you like it more sweeter, use a tsp or 2 more.
4. Any light oil - 1/3 cup
5. Nutmeg Powder - 1 tsp
6. Cocoa Powder - 1/2 cup
7. Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
8. Chopped dates or walnut - 1/3 cup (optional)

Method:
1. Heat oven on 375F/190C for 10 minutes. 
2. While the oven is heating, mix well all the ingredients together.
3. take a nonstick baking sheet, take a spoonful of the cookie dough, put it on the baking sheet and slightly press it down.
4. After adding sufficient amount of dough on sheet, put it in the oven and let it bake for 20 to 25 minutes or till well done.
5. Take 'em out of the oven, let 'em cool and enjoy.
