Banana Oatmeal Date Cookies
My friend Patrycja's version includes a bit of orange zest and flax seeds for an extra special touch!

2 cups organic rolled oats
1 cup dates, pitted and chopped
1/3 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas.
3. Stir in oats, dates, oil, and vanilla.
4. Mix well, and allow to sit for 15 minutes.
5. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
6. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly brown.
7. Let cool. Enjoy!
