The ingredients for Oatmeal Banana Breakfast Snack Cookies are:

3 large, ripe mashed bananas,
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 cups quick-cooking raw oats
1/4 cup skim milk
1/2 cup raisins (or any other dried fruit you want to add)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon sugar (or other dry sweetener)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray two baking sheets with cooking spray, or line them with parchment paper; set aside.

Mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl until very well combined. Let this mixture stand for about 5-10 minutes to let the oats absorb some of the moisture from the wet ingredients. Using a heaping spoonful of batter for each cookie, drop batter onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving room for each cookie to ?spread? slightly. Bake for 15-20 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool.

**Additional Variations: If you add any variety of chopped nuts, you will have a grab and go breakfast that includes protein as well as fruits and grains (with a very trivial amount of added fat). Dried cranberries are also a wonderful addition (especially in the fall). And cardamom will add an interesting flavor twist if you want to substitute that spice for the cinnamon.

NOTE: Due to variations in the size of the bananas, I have yielded a different quantity of cookies each and every time that I have made this recipe. Also It is important to note that this is not a dessert type of cookie, so it will not be extremely sweet (like what you are used to eating when you think of a ?cookie?.
