Think of these cookies as miniature chewy granola bars. Canned pumpkin and mashed banana add moisture and help us keep added sugar to a minimum. I

Ingredients

Uncooked old fashioned rolled oats

2 cup(s)

Pumpkin pie spice

2 tsp

Table salt

½ tsp

Pumpkin puree

1 cup(s)

Vanilla extract

1½ tsp

Banana

2 medium, ripe, mashed

Egg

1 large egg(s), lightly beaten

Reduced sugar dried cranberries

½ cup(s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F with one oven rack in the upper third of the oven and another rack in the lower third. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
  2. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high. Add the oats to the pan; cook, shaking the pan frequently, until the oats are lightly browned and toasty-fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the oats into a medium bowl; stir in the pumpkin pie spice and salt.
  3. In another medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, vanilla, bananas, and egg. Add the oats mixture and cranberries; stir until well combined.
  4. Drop the dough onto the prepared pans, about 1 ½ tablespoons per cookie. Bake the cookies at 350°F until lightly browned and set, about 20 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through.
  5. Serving size: 1 cookie
