Hey gang: This is a recipe that I have adapted from an old cookbook that I have had for a million years. The cookies are soft and good with a big glass of skim milk at bedtime.
BANANA OATMEAL COOKIES
1 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
3/4 cup margarine (I use becel)
1/2 cup brown sugar splenda
1/2 cup splenda
1 egg, beaten
1 cup mashed banana puree.....about 3 medium bananas
1 3/4 cups oats.....if you used the old fashioned oats the cookies taste nuttier
1 cup chopped nuts
Oven...375'
Combine flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, sugars and oats together. In a bowl beat together margarine, egg and bananas, mix in the dry ingredients, mix well. Add the nuts.
Drop by spoonful onto greased cookie sheets and bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
Makes about 4 dozen small cookies or 2-3 dozen medium cookies.
I don't have the values for these cookies as I have adapted the ingredients to suit my healthy eating.
If desired you may add dried fruit to the recipe, the original recipe calls for adding dates cut up finely. But I don't use them as they are high in sugar.
