Oatmeal Ginger Cookies



• 2 bananas
• 1/2 cup molasses
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp ginger (I used 1½ tsp)
• 3 tsp cinnamon

I also added 1 egg,  approximate measurements: ½ c coconut, 1 c choc chips, 1 Tbsp. olive oil, a dash of Blue Agave Sweetener but you could use honey. Leaving the egg out might make it more cookie than cake texture. The choc chips could just be pressed onto the top instead of mixed in.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Mash bananas, combine with molasses and vanilla. Mix together dry ingredients, add banana mixture, stir in rolled oats. Form teaspoon-sized balls, place on greased (or sprayed) baking sheet. Bake 10-15 minutes.
