How to make Banana Oatmeal Cookies

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and gather your ingredients. Prepare a baking sheet by laying out some parchment paper on it.

Next, mash 2 medium-sized ripe bananas in a bowl until they look like mush.

Next, add 2 cups of old-fashion oatmeal, 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and stir to combine.

Then add ⅓ cup raisins and ¼ cup white chocolate morsels and stir to combine.

Next, use a cookie scooper or a tablespoon and place the mixture on the parchment-lined baking sheet by the spoonful about 2 inches apart. Use the back of a spoon or your fingertips to flatten each spoonful until it resembles a cookie. These cookies won't spread on their own, so flattening them must be done for them to look like a cookie when done baking.

Bake in your preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until golden. Your house will smell delicious. Once done baking, remove and let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
