Ingredients

  • 3 bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups oatmeal, uncooked
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/3 cup low-calorie margarine
  • ¼ cup skim milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Preparation

  • Preheat over to 350 degrees. You’ll need a cookie sheet, but do not grease it.
  • Combine the ingredients and beat well. Let stand five minutes to allow the oats to absorb the moisture. Drop heaping teaspoons onto the ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Let the cookies stand for one minute on the sheet before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
