Banana Oatmeal Cookies

Banana oatmeal cookies, make substitutions as you will! This recipe produces something that is more akin to bread than a cookie.

2 1/2 bananas
1/4 stick of butter
a cup or so of oats
a cup and a half of flour
some baking soda
sea salt
some cinnamon
pinch of allspice
some ginger powder (optional, I actually used galanga powder because that is what I have)
(i used splenda for my dear diabetic sister) 1/2 cup of some kind of sweetener, sugar, honey, whatever
2 eggs
dried cherries (cranberries or raisins would be great too)
some pecans (walnuts would work too. I bet cashews would be great)
a couple of dashes of ground flax meal (totally optional)

350 degree oven, 10-15 minutes depending on your oven – you want them to be just slightly browned.
makes a bunch of delicious and nutritious cookies

Peanut butter or chocolate chips would be a delightful addition, but I omitted them for my sister this time. Dipping them in melted chocolate and coconut after they are baked is terrific.

Leaving the batter in the refrigerator for an hour or so would let everything meld together and the oats and flour to thoroughly moisten.
