3 tablespoons maple syrup

2 cups old fashioned oats

1/4 cup whole wheat flour

Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Mix bananas, vanilla, peanut butter and maple syrup into a creamy consistency in a large bowl.

In another bowl, combine oats, flour, baking powder and salt.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until they are well combined -the batter should be slightly
sticky.

Fold in the chocolate chips or raisins.

Place rounded, heaping tablespoon-sized balls of the batter onto an ungreased baking sheet.
