Ingredients
•
1 1/2 cups oatmeal, quick or old fashioned ~ uncooked
•
2 ripe bananas, mashed with fork until creamy **(see update below)
•
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
•
1/3 cup raisins, or to taste ((optional ~ you can add in some dried cranberries (replacing some of the raisins) if you include the use of dried cranberries in your diet. Trader Joe's makes a really good one.))
•
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted (or regular, if you prefer) ***(see update below)
•
1 tsp vanilla extract
•
1 tsp cinnamon (or more, to taste)
•
** for those of you who don't like bananas, try using 2/3 cup pureed fresh or frozen mango in place of the mashed bananas. I've used it in place of the bananas & it's an acceptable substitute, just maybe not quite as sweet.
