Baked Banana Oat Breakfast Cookies

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, beat the mashed bananas, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until well blended.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, whole wheat flour, nonfat dry milk powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and baking soda. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Fold in the dried cranberries or raisins.

3. 3

   Scoop the dough by 1/4 cupfuls and place them 3 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Flatten each cookie to about 1/2-inch thickness.

4. 4

   Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. To reheat, microwave each cookie on high for 15-20 seconds.
