This banana cookie recipe is super straightforward to make and is made with just a few simple ingredients!

What goes in

• 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons oat flour
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup raisins

How it comes together

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Using a blender or a hand held mixer, combine bananas, applesauce, honey and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
3. In a medium bowl, mix together the rolled oats, flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Pour the banana mixture in with the oat mixture and mix well to combine then fold in the raisins.
4. Using a small cookie scoop, drop 1-inch cookie dough balls onto a prepared baking sheet and flatten the tops a bit with the back end of a spoon, making sure the cookies are still intact. You should end up with about 16 cookies.
5. Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes until cookies are golden and set. Take them out of the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy!
