“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.” -Ephesians 2:8,9

Banana Oatmeal Cookies
I recently purchased a series of World Community Cookbooks and I'm very excited about the recipes! Last week I made Banana Oatmeal Cookies with a recipe from Jamaica. They were so yummy!! I did alter the recipe to replace the white sugar with honey. Here's my version....
Cream together
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup honey
Beat in
1 beaten egg
Add
2-3 peeled/mashed bananas (about 1 cup)
3 1/2 cups rolled oats (old fashion oatmeal)
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Mix thoroughly. Add
1 1/4 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon natural salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Mix well. Preheat oven to 375-degrees. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls on ungreased baking sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake 11-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool before eating if you can wait.
It must be the oatmeal that keeps them so moist. The kids were eating them faster than I could count so I'm not sure how many dozen I made. For the original unaltered recipe, see Extending the Table...A World Community Cookbook by Joetta Handrich Schlabach.
Enjoy!
