Healthy Breakfast Cookies

Aryn Youngberg is having a Pampered Chef Party soon.  This is a recipe from her Consultant.  It looks like a good one.

Healthy Breakfast Cookies
3 mashed bananas (ripe)

1/3 c. apple sauce
2 c. uncooked quick-cooking oats
1/4 c. skim milk
1/2 c. raisins (or any other dried fruit you want to add)
1 t. vanilla
1 t. cinnamon
1 T. Splenda , stevia, sugar or other sweetener. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients in a bowl really well. Let this mixture stand for at least 5 minutes to let the oats become good and hydrated. Heap the dough by teaspoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes and let cool.

Variations: If you add some chopped nuts, you have a grab and go breakfast that includes protein as well as fruits and grains. Dried cranberries are also a great addition if you don't care for raisins, which some people don't. Cardamom fans may want to substitute that spice for the cinnamon.
