   3      large         bananas -- mashed
   2      cups          rolled oats
   1      cup           chopped dates
     1/3  cup           oil
   1      teaspoon      vanilla extract

Preparation:

Combine bananas, oats, dates, oil and vanilla. Allow to rest 15 minutes to let flavors mingle. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until brown. Makes about 30 cookies. TIPS: Riper bananas make sweeter cookies. Easiest way to mash bananas, a potato masher. Easiest way to chop dates, cut with kitchen shears.
