Banana Oat Bites

Another one I found on Pinterest -- the original is here.  I don't like to call them cookies because they're not quite the right texture for that, but they are small and round and sweet!  And they are staggeringly quick and easy to make.  Not to mention, extraordinarily healthy.

Banana Oat Bites

2 large bananas -- ripe or overripe
1 cup rolled oats -- quick or regular
1/4 cup or so raisins OR chocolate chips OR chopped nuts OR whatever else you want to try

Put bananas and oats in a bowl and mash them up together with a fork until they form a dough.  Mix in whatever you want to mix in.  Form into balls and bake on a well-greased or parchment-paper-covered cookie sheet for 12-15 minutes at 350.  They don't spread much, so you can get the whole batch on one sheet.

Makes 12-16, depending on how big your bananas were and how big you make the balls.
