Ingredients
2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 cup uncooked quick or rolled oats
4 teaspoons grape jelly
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350° degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a non-stick cookie sheet with cooking spray.
- Combine the mashed bananas and peanut butter in a medium bowl
- Add the oats and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Place batter by tablespoons (little more than level) on the cookie sheet, indenting the cookie with the back of the measuring spoon. Repeat until the batter is gone. Should make about 16 cookies.
- Bake for 15 minutes until golden. Remove from oven and top each with 1/4 teaspoon of jelly.
- These cookies taste best if served right away but can be kept frozen for about 2 weeks. Reheat a few in the microwave for about 40 seconds, then serve.
