Provided by Amy at The Penny Pantry

Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup Mashed Bananas, very ripe (about 3 bananas)
2 cups Whole Oats
1/2 cup Applesauce
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1/4-1/2 (total) cup Mix-ins of choice: Chopped Dates, Nuts, Chocolate Chips, Coconut, Dried Fruit, etc.
1/4 cup Maple Syrup or Dry Sweetener (Optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mash bananas well in a medium size mixing bowl. I use a bean masher.
  • Mix in applesauce.
  • Stir in oats and cinnamon. Add more oats if it appears too wet. This photo shows the consistency I like.
  • Add in your mix-ins of choice if desired, and optional sweetener.
  • Use a medium sized cookie scoop to form rounds onto a baking sheet fitted with a non stick liner.
  • Flatten rounds slightly with water dampened hand, to the thickness you like. (Getting your hand wet prevents the dough from sticking to your hand). These will not spread, so they will remain the same size.
  • Bake in your preheated oven for about 15 minutes. They should be lightly brown. Cool on tray for a couple of minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. They are delicious warm or cold, especially with a tall glass of ice cold Almond Milk! Enjoy! :)

BANANA APPLESAUCE



Banana Applesauce image

I read about this side dish on another site and was intrigued. I had never heard of this combination before, you see. When I googled for the recipe, I got two versions, the one below which is from vegweb.com, and a much simpler one, which, I confess, is the one I tried. For this version you peel a banana and mash it in a bowl with a fork or potato masher. (You can soften the banana in the microwave by heating it for 20 seconds, if needed.) Add a can of applesauce to the mashed banana. You can puree the mixture or simply mash it with the potato masher which will usually get the mixture smooth.
