35 cookies
ingredients
- 6 tablespoons organic yogurt (flavoring is your choice, but I use the Vanana from Trader Joe's)
- 3 organic bananas (I used very ripe ones, like the type you'd use for banana bread. I find they have great flavor)

directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Cream together the yogurt and banans in a large bowl.
- Gradually work the egg, milk, honey, flour, baking powder and soda, and oats into the mixture.
- Stir in the raisins.
- Drop batter by tablespoon fulls onto parchment lined baking sheet (get as many as you can on the sheet. These cookies don't spread out).
- Bake for 7 minutes at 400 degrees.
- Remove from the oven and cool.

I selected this recipe for its use of yogurt. They were bland looking and bland tasting. I added cinnamon and nutmeg too. They're rather cakey/soft which is fine but overall they lack 'wow' factor. Perhaps these are better for children since they came from a children's recipe book? -
Big hit at the office. I used 1 organic egg and 1 eggbeater; didn't have raisins and substituted dried cherries. Will definitely do again.

<p>Please Rate My Recipes! :) I am a mommy to two wonderful boys and two beautiful girls. My cooking is primarily focused on making sure what goes into their bodies is wholesome, natural, and as organic as possible. Today's fast paced methods of eating (ie: drive-thrus, and microwaves) are kind of what I hope to not let into our home. We love our sit-down family dinners, healthy snacks that are good for our bodies, and knowing that if our kids get into the cupboards, there isn't anything in there that they can't eat. I try to educate my family on the importance of maintaining healthy eating habits, knowing that if we start now, it will benefit us for years to come.</p>
