There is a recipe going around on FB called Healthy Cookies. I took my idea for these very tasty snacks from that. They taste like sweetened cooked oatmeal, but in convenient snack-size mounds. You're gonna love 'em and so simple to make. If you use a vegan chocolate bar, this recipe becomes vegan as well as GF!
Ingredients:
2 large very ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup applesauce (I used unsweetened)
2 cups GF old fashioned oats (like Bob Mill's Organic)
1/4 cup coconut or almond milk, your preference
1/4 cup chopped dried cherries
1/4 cup chopped dried pineapple
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup dark or bittersweet chocolate (I used Ghiradelli bittersweet. You can substitute a vegan bar)
1 tsp vanilla bean paste (you can substitute vanilla extract)
Preheat oven to 350*. Line a cookie sheet with parchment. Mix all ingredients together. Using a medium cookie scoop, place them 1/2" apart. They do not spread, so 1/2" is plenty. Bake for 16-20 minutes or until firm. They really do not brown, so don't be concerned. Baking them makes them hold together. Let cool and give them a try!
Enjoy!
