Simple "Diet" Cookie

I'm not one to like "diet" cookies....#knowyourtruth
However, this is better, as in for me, than the other.




2 ripe bananas
2 T peanut butter
2 T raw honey
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
smash together with a fork




1 C rolled oats
1/2 C dried Door County no sugar added cherries (could use anther dried...)  however, the tart bite, is amazing in these.  



Stir them together and drop by rounded tablespoons on a sprayed pan.  Bake 350 for 25 minutes (ya, it's long because they are so "wet").  When you smell them, they are done.  This makes 16 cookies and each is around 50 calories.  




If you don't eat them within a day or so, store in the refrigerator.  I know, "just eat a regular cookie" but, this one is full of natural sugar, fiber and protein.  You can eat 1 and not want more...not because of the taste...teehee...rather, it will fill you up and the lack of simple carbs and sugars won't leave you craving more.  They are actually pretty tasty.  



No worries if you don't have the dried cherries - Door County is the best!  You can order here:  Wood Orchard Market:  http://www.woodorchardmarket.com/order.htm
