Wholesome Oatmeal Treats

 Oatmeal is a delicious, very satisfying, cheap, quick, and comforting breakfast.  These little treats are just like oatmeal outside of a bowl. Quick to grab as breakfast, a snack, or a dessert. They are sweetened with a ripe banana or applesauce, yet still satisfied my sweet tooth.

1 cup rolled oats
1 cup oat flour (just blend another cup of oats in your blender for a few seconds)
1/3 cup raisins
1/4 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened (I bought mine in the bulk section at WinCo)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
pinch of nutmeg (optional)
1 ripe banana, mashed
2-3 tablespoons milk or applesauce (for added moisture)
2-3 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup
1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)

1. Mix oats, oat flour, raisins, coconut, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and baking powder.
 2. Add mashed banana, honey or syrup, and enough applesauce or milk to make a stiff dough that barley clings together.
3. Form balls and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 14 to 15 minutes.
