Banana Oatmeal Cookies

These were so good and a somewhat healthy snack for the kids in the afternoons. There is no butter or oil - use applesauce and I used whole what flour (use the hard white wheat). We all loved them, especially the boys!

1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar (I added 3/4 cup)
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 cup unsweeted applesauce
1 egg white, well beaten (I used a whole egg)
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
1 3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Beat egg; add applesauce and mashed bananas. Mix well. Add dry ingredients and mix. Add oats and chips; mix. Drop by spoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Bake at 35o degrees for 12-14 minutes.

Chocolate Gooey Treat

This recipe was given to me by my sister in law, Alisa. Justin's mom used to make these when they were younger. Oh, they are so yummy. They are pretty much like a chocolate rice crispy treat, but better! The boys LOVED them, can you tell?
3 Tbs. butter
10 oz. marshmallows
Melt the butter in the microwave, then add the marshmallows and melt a little longer. Add:
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Mix until melted. Then add:
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix. Add:
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2-3 cups rice krispies
Spoon onto dish into serving size (2-4 Tbs). Let harden and enjoy. You can freeze these and enjoy them over the next few days!
