Instead of butter and eggs, these cinnamon-laced cookies contain peanut butter and a potassium-rich banana.

Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray

1 Large banana, mashed (1/2 cup)

1/2 cup Chunky natural peanut butter (unsalted and unsweetened) or regular

Chunky peanut butter

1/2 cup Honey

1 teaspoon Vanilla

1 cup Rolled oats

1/4 cup Nonfat dry milk powder

2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon Baking powder

1 cup Dried cranberries or raisins

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat two cookie sheets with nonstick

cooking spray; set aside. In a large bowl stir together banana, peanut

butter, honey, and vanilla. In a small bowl, combine oats, flour, milk powder,

cinnamon, and baking soda. Stir oat mixtue into banana mixture until combined.

Stir in dried cranberries or raisins.

2. Using a 1/4-cup measure, drop dough into mounds 3 inches apart on prepared

cookie sheets. With a thin spatula dipped in water, flatten and spread each

dough mound into a 2 3/4-inch round about 1/2 inch thick.

3. Bake, one sheet at a time, for 14 to 16 minutes or until browned.

Very good and quick recipe. Love that my teen can grab these on the go. His suggestion was to omit banana (he's not a fan) and try applesauce.
