Sugar-Free Oatmeal Banana Raisin Cookies

4 servings

30 minutes

This is a classic recipe for healthy oatmeal cookies. The raisins can easily be replaced with other dried fruits or candied fruits, enriched with nuts, or even replaced with tempting chocolate chips (as chocolatiers often do today). However, I strongly recommend not to replace the banana with anything: there are enough sweet fruits, but soft aromatic bananas in combination with rolled oats and a creamy accent of homemade baking... It's worth trying.
