Healthy Banana-Oat Cookies

INGREDIENTS:

2 (ripe) bananas
1 c old fashioned oats
1/4-1/2 c walnuts (chopped)
cinnamon

In a bowl smash the bananas.  When done, add the oats, walnuts, and sprinkle a little bit of cinnamon for more flavor.  These cookies have no added sugar so the riper the bananas the sweeter your cookie.  If your bananas aren't as ripe as you wished, drizzle a little bit of honey to sweeten the mix.  Drop spoonfulls of your cookie mix unto a cookie sheet (spray your cookie sheet to avoid them sticking to the pan.  I used a silicone mat on top of my cookie sheet so I didn't have to spray it.  Bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes.  Makes 12 cookies.  Enjoy!
