.recipe.piece

the wind in the sails of this online vessel is the hope that you will respond in some way, make the food, eat the food, delicious. Good for you and easy. There are no risks of breach of copyright, as this recipe was developed independently and with love, taking inspiration from a granola stall at a Toronto farmers market. Whats more is it is only sweetened by the fruit inside it, and involves no flour or dairy- the bananas bind the show together. It uses only common ingredients, and allows plenty of room for improvisation. If you like it sweet- go liberal on the dried fruit.
Furthermore, you can think of it as a snack to enjoy while the rectangle (as it exists in box form) changes contents. for everybody:

2 cups of whole oats
3 bananas
1/4-1/3 cup olive or vegetable oil (more if you feel frivolous)
cinnamon, nutmeg, or mixed spice
pinch or two of salt
generous amount of generous dried fruit. don't use any selfish raisins
nuts and/or seeds, the same deal
(The pictured cookies use dates, sunflower seeds, chopped almonds, linseed, raisins, chopped dried apricots, but go fruity slash go nuts and use whatever you like)


Add a dash of water to the oats and stir while you wait for the oven to heat up to 190 degrees celcius.

Mash the ripe bananas, then add the rest and stir. Use a spoon or fingers to dollop them into a tray, or baking paper, then make sure they look in cookie shape as they wont melt flat like regular non-extraordinary cookies with no self esteem do. These guys will hold strong. kia kaha.

Bake for 20-25 mins. use the comments feature below, and hit back if you are generous enough to share another recipe project of your own. any improvements to suggest, do the same. good luck
