• 3 ripe bananas · 283 kcal in the whole recipe
• 1/3 cup butter or margarine · 487 kcal in the whole recipe
• 2 cups quick-cooking oats · 619 kcal in the whole recipe
• 1/4 cup low-fat milk · 24 kcal in the whole recipe
• 1/2 cup raisins · 221 kcal in the whole recipe
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.

   

2. Melt the butter or margarine in a small saucepan over low heat.

   

3. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, mashed bananas, oats, milk, raisins, and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly.

   

4. Let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes so the oats can absorb the moisture.

   

5. Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.

   

6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden, then let cool on the sheet for 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
