Gather all your ingredients • one large, one small mixing bowl • 1/4 cup for measuring • wooden spoon • measuring spoons • 2 lined baking sheets • Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Put all dry ingredients (except the sugar) in the large mixing bowl

Mix well until all oats are evenly coated

In the small mixing bowl, add the peeled banana and the sugar (which doesn't have to be exactly at 1/4 cup)

Add the applesauce and mash and mix your small bowl ingredients

Add egg to small bowl ingredients and mix well

Pour wet ingredients onto dry ingredients

Add chopped walnuts...

....and raisins

...and lastly, vanilla

Mix everything well so nothing is dry

Use your 1 tsp measuring spoon to scoop out bite sized portions into a lined baking sheet. Yields about 34 or 35 bites

Place in preheated oven at 325 degrees and set timer for 13 to 15 minutes

When finished baking set out to cool and then place in air tight container. You may notice that they'll moisten a bit over time. Best to eat within a week...assuming they last that long!
