Bugga's Banana Oatmeal Cookie

 

I created this recipe one sunday night when we all felt like something sweet and cakey to enjoy wih a tall glass of milk. We wanted the comfort and taste of our morning oatmeal which is where adding syrup comes into play and I wanted bananna which is where that came in. They turned out awesome, and substituting half the butter with a bannana also made it healthier.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 1/4 cup of maple syrup
• 1 egg
• 1 ripe bannana

5. Mash bannana in a separate bowl then add to the mix.
6. Scoop onto pan of wax paper, and bake for approximately 20 mins or until golden around the edges. The middle of the cookie should still be soft to the touch.
