Sugar-Free Oatmeal Banana Raisin Cookies

AmyMCGS's Note:

I was searching for something sugar-free to take to a bake sale, and came across a recipe similar to this online. This is my modified version of that recipe. These sold quickly at the bake sale! They have a granola-like appearance and are soft and chewy. A little cinnamon added in might be good, too.

Wow! I had only 2 very ripe bananas so I used them and cut the oats to 1 1/2 cups and only used 1/4 cup corn oil. Sprinkled with cinnamon and popped them into the oven. The look more like drops or mounds than cookies since they didn't flatten out like cookies do. My kids loved them but I had to stop them from eating more because I am bringing these to a friend's house tonight! Thanks for a great (and healthy) recipe that was so easy and quick to make!

Fantastic! I made these for my sister, who is diabetic, and was thrilled that I loved them too. Thanks for a delicious and very easy-to-make recipe!

These were very good. I'm on a gluten free, wheat free, sugar free lifestyle diet. So this fit the bill perfectly. The bananas have their own natural sweetness to these cookies. The only thing I did differently was add a pinch of cinnamon and subbed the rasins for crasins. Next time I will omit the crasins all together, otherwise I think these are a good light cookie without the guilt. Awesome post!
