Trail Mix Cookies

Ingredients

2 medium sized bananas
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup molasses
1 Tbs corn starch
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cloves
Generous handful each of raisins, chopped walnuts, chopped pecans, sunflower seeds, chopped prunes, chopped almonds, or whatever else you may have on hand
3 cups quick oats
1/2 cup applesauce
1/4 cup water

Directions
Heat oven to 350F. Mix thoroughly bananas, molasses, honey, corn starch, applesauce, water, and vanilla. Stir in remaining ingredients, leaving the oats and seeds/nuts until the end. Lightly spray cookie sheet with a non-stick vegetable spray. Dough will be heavy and 'grainy', more of a dough than a 'batter.'

Form 'dough' into 16 balls, and flatten and shape into large, round cookies. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until bottoms are lightly browned and cookie holds together. Cool, and enjoy. Serves 16.

  1. I am going to try these with a few substitutes. I am not really a molasses fan, so I am going to try them with brown sugar instead, and let you know how it goes. I also don't have any honey, but I have Agave nectar. We shall see! I love that these have applesauce!
