Ingredients

2 medium ripe bananas

1/2 cup old-fashioned oats

3 T raw cacao nibs

3 T sliced almonds

3 T raisins

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/8 tsp ginger

1/8 tsp nutmeg

Pinch salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mash bananas with a fork in a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Spoon about 2 T of mixture in cookie mounds on a baking sheet covered with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Alternatively, you can spoon 2 T of the mixture into the wells of a silicone muffin pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until edges begin to brown. Let cool in the pan before loosening with a spatula. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Makes about 10-12 cookies.
