Oatmeal Cookies

These were posted on Facebook by a few folks - not sure where it originated.

I added the egg, though they say you don't need it.  They are good.  Adding chocolate chips would make them great (but, would also add sugar...).

Ingredients:
3 medium bananas, mashed
1/3 cup applesauce (preferably "natural" without added sugar)
2 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup milk (you can use almond or soy milk if you want)
1/2 cup raisins (I used cranberries)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1 egg

Directions:
Pre-heat your oven to 350.  Mix all the ingredients together.  Put on a baking sheet (golf ball size), and bake for 15 minutes.  You want to flatten them a bit as they do not spread when baking.
