Fruity Granola-y Banana-y Chocolate-y Cookies...

BANANA OATMEAL RAISIN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES      

2 ¼ cups Rolled or Quick Oats 

1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce

3 ripe bananas 

1 tbsp. raisins

1 tbsp. mini chocolate chips 

¼ cup Baking Splenda

2 tsp. vanilla

½ tsp. nutmeg

1 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mash bananas in bowl, add in oats, applesauce, raisins, splenda, chocolate chips and spices. Stir well. Let sit for a few minutes. Spoon onto cookie sheet by the tablespoon and flatten to desired shape – they will not spread out on their own. Bake for 10 minutes or until slightly golden. These cookies will be more like chewy granola bars. You can add other variations as well: nuts, other dried fruits, honey instead of Splenda.
