Ingredients:
- 200g (2 cups) rolled oats or gluten free oats
- 2-3 large overripe bananas, peeled and mashed
- 40g raisins
- pinch of sea salt
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon.
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. Place the rolled oats into a food processor or high-speed blender and pulse for 10 seconds. The oats should not resemble a fine powder but still have some whole pieces. Transfer the oats to a large bowl.
3. Add the mashed banana and mix until well combined. Add the raisins, salt and cinnamon and stir through evenly.
4. Scoop out 1 heaped tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball. Place on the prepared baking tray and flatten into a cookie shape using the back of a spoon. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
5. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and transfer the cookies to a wire tray to cool.
6. Serve these Oatmeal Raisin Cookies fresh from the oven or once cooled, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Enjoy!
Bananas and oats are pantry staples at my house, so this is such a great recipe because it is so simple to make, especially if you are short on time.

I think these cookies would be delicious with a cup of chamomile tea or even with a glass of milk. They have a lovely chewy texture that pairs so well with the raisins and you can make a batch to keep on hand for the week!
