My grandfathers, uncles, and my Dad were coal miners in the western part of Virginia and southern West Virginia - hard, honest work for minimal pay. The women in our families worked equally as hard in raising children and keeping house - and making the most wonderful meals out of the simplest ingredients! I have learned from my own cooking experience that the best part of preparing something is in sharing it with others who enjoy it, too. That is the purpose behind this blog: not only to preserve our family recipes, but to share them with others who can use and enjoy them as much as we have. Thanks for stopping by! Cris

Sugar-less, Egg-less Snack

This recipe was shared on facebook. 
I made these -- they're pretty good!  See my notes below
         Cris

Since there weren't any instructions, just the ingredients, this is how I made them.  I also added about 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts for a little crunch 

Photos of my cookies are below, too.

Mash the bananas until there are no big lumps.
Add the apple sauce, milk, and vanilla.
Mix to combine the wet ingredients.
Add in the oats, raisins, and cinnamon.
Add the nuts if you are using them.

 Spray a cookie sheet lightly with a non-stick spray.

 Drop by spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet.  Mine were about 2 inches across.  

 NOTE:  the cookies do not spread out but hold their shape.  You can put them close together.

 My batter was a bit wet (I think my apple sauce was a little thin) so I baked my cookies for the full 18 minutes.

 Cool for a few minutes before taking them off of the cookies sheet.

 This made 24 cookies approximately 2 inches across.

 They are very moist, so I stored mine in a container in the refrigerator.
If you tried these and made any variations, please let me know!  
Thanks!
