Ingredients

: Nonstick cooking spray

1/2: cup mashed banana (about 1 large)

1/2: cup chunky natural peanut butter (unsalted and unsweetened)

1/2: cup honey

1: teaspoon vanilla

1: cup rolled oats

1/2: cup Gold Medal® whole wheat flour

1/4: cup nonfat dry milk powder

2: teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/4: teaspoon baking soda

1: cup dried cranberries or raisins

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat two cookie sheets with cooking spray; set aside. In a large bowl, stir together banana, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla. In a small bowl, combine oats, flour, milk powder, cinnamon, and baking soda. Stir the oat mixture into the banana mixture until combined. Stir in dried cranberries.
2 Using a ¼-cup measure, drop mounds of dough 3 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets. With a thin metal or small plastic spatula dipped in water, flatten and spread each mound of dough to a 2¾-inch round, about ½ inch thick.
3 Bake, one sheet at a time, for 14 to 16 minutes or until browned. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months; thaw before serving.

I made these but substituted vanilla protein powder for the powdered milk. I made some with craisins and some without. The ones without were a big hit with my husband and teenage son.

I have made these twice with my students; they were a hit! The staff loved them too. We even made one batch gluten free, using GF Bisquick instead of the whole wheat flour - they turned out great too.
