Banana Raisin Oat Bites

This easy recipe calls for bananas, raisins, and oats, three brilliant ingredients to satisfy a sugar craving. Now, I can't take credit for this recipe, but can point you to Davey Wavey and Blogilates, two fitness bloggers, who blogged about the recipe calling it a cookie.

This is not a cookie.

Cookies are Oreos, Chips Ahoy, four and fat creations crumbling into sugar. But, this recipe is perfect for a snack. It's also versatile, leaving room to add extra spices and sweetners.

The base of this recipe is a bite size ration of 1/2 of a medium banana and 1/4 cup of quick oats.You can can mesh the banana and oats together, bake, and eat. I chose to add raisins and make a "double" batch to eat and ponder the meaning of life.

Why do you look like an oatmeal cookie but taste like oats, bananas, and raisins?

It's a dense bite. Filling, ah so pretty.

Grease your cookie sheet. Place spoonfuls of your batter onto the sheet. Place sheet into oven at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Bake, cool, and enjoy!
