1/2 cup rolled oats
scant 1/2 cup applesauce or over-ripe banana (mashed)
1/4 cup nut butter of choice (I used salted peanut butter)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
3 tbsp raisins (or other dried fruit, or even chocolate chips)
1/16 tsp salt, plus a tiny pinch more if desired (taste dough to decide)
1 packet stevia if using applesauce version (or 1 tablespoon sugar. I actually omitted this altogether. If you have absolutely no sweet tooth, you can try it that way. And if you have a huge sweet tooth—or are used to “non-healthy-tasting” desserts—try adding 1/4 cup sugar. As I said above, don’t expect these to taste like your everyday oatmeal-raisin cookies. I’ll post a recipe for those soon!)
