Healthier Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

---

My healthified version of the quaker oatmeal cookies. Very tasty, even with the healthy substitutions. Still fairly buttery. If you like a sweeter cookie, you can add a little more sugar, and if you find the banana flavour too strong, try applesauce.

Steps

---

Heat oven to 350f.

---

Beat together banana , butter and sugars until creamy.

---

Add eggs and vanilla.

---

Beat well.

---

Stir in raisins.

---

Mix flour , baking soda , cinnamon , oats and salt.

---

Mix well.

---

Add butter mixture to flour mixture and mix well.

---

Refrigerate dough until cool , then shape tablespoonfuls of dough into round flattened cookie shapes.

---

Or to save time or if you like a more cake-like cookie , you can simply drop tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet.

---

Bake 10 to 11 minutes or until golden brown.

---

Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet.

---

Remove to wire rack.
