Oatmeal Granola Bar Drop Cookies
Ok, these are the basics...
- 1 ripe banana
- 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon of natural unsweetened applesauce
- 2 cups of oatmeal.
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
- 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons of coconut (if you don't like coconut or prefer UNSWEETENED coconut, omit and add agave or stevia to sweeten to taste)

ADDITIONS THAT I HAVE USED: tablespoon of cocoa powder, small handful of raisins, almonds/pecans/nuts of your choice, dark chocolate chips, carob chips, dried apples, sunflower seeds, pepitas. Totally up to you depending on your taste preference.
