Banana-Oatmeal Cookies

This recipe is from Tori. I think she invented it, hence the vague amounts.

Ingredients:
Bananas (the riper the better)
Oatmeal
Olive Oil
Anything else you want to add-- I used walnuts and chocolate chips.

Mash up the bananas and add oatmeal. It took more than I initially expected-- I don't have an exact amount, but enough to make everything hold together well. Add a bit of olive oil. The bananas I used were ripe enough that I barely needed any. Add whatever else you're putting in-- chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, etc. Bake at 350F until they're done (oatmeal crispy/slightly browned). It took 8 minutes for mine. Makes... well, that depends on how many bananas you want to use and how big you make the cookies. I used 3 bananas and it made about 2 dozen small cookies.

And... that's it! Very easy and very tasty.

I also like to add a teaspoon (quite literally, considering I don't have measuring spoons) of cinnamon and a half a teaspoon of nutmeg. Also, a half a teaspoon of chili powder is a nice kick...so are raisins. ***
