2 medium – banana
1 cup – applesauce, if using the jam just do a bit shy
1 teaspoon – vanilla extract
1 teaspoon – cinnamon 1/2 or little less if using the jam it's already spiced really well
1 1/2 cup – oats, dry if using additional jam i did just shy 2 cups
1/4 to 1/3 cup carrot marmalade was a giant spoon full
Optional add-ins
1/3 cup – raisins, seedless
1/4 cup – walnuts, chopped
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F.Mash bananas with the back of a fork until creamy (the riper the better!). Set aside.Add applesauce to a mixing bowl, then stir in mashed bananas, marmalade, vanilla, and cinnamon.
Fold in remaining ingredients and let set for 10 to 15 minutes.Drop cookie dough by spoonfuls onto a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet, then flatten cookies into rounds. (The batter should yield about 16 regular size cookies, 12 if you're wanting them a bit bigger.)
Bake approximately 35 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.Remove from oven and let rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
