Lunchbox Bakes – Banana Cranberry Cookies

These cookies are a little weird; there’s no flour, oats act in place of the usual dry ingredients.  So, they are a bit gooey.  But yum.  Really yum.  Guess what, they are also gluten, egg and sugar free.  How brilliant is that?  They are like little breakfast in a cookie ball.  And, they are easy; a one bowl, chuck everything together and you are done deal.  I like them a lot.

Makes about 30 cookies.

3 medium ripe banana, mashed
⅓ cup butter, melted
2 cups uncooked gluten free oats
¼ cup milk
½ cup craisins (dried cranberries)
½ walnuts, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 180°C.  Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, then let the batter stand for 5 minutes.
Scoop out teaspoons of the dough onto the baking tray.  Bake for 15 – 20 minutes or until the cookies are lightly browned. Let stand for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
