Banana Oatmeal Cookies

Grind oats and almonds or cereal to a coarse powder in a food processor or blender. Pour them into a large mixing bowl.

In separate bowl or in food processor, beat together bananas, oil, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Add banana mixture and raisins to oat mixture.
Mix well.

Drop cookie dough by tablespoons onto prepared baking sheet. Bake for 13 to 16 minutes, or until bottoms are golden brown.
