Banana and Pear Oat Biscuits

These chewy biscuits are absolutely delicious and have a lovely balance of banana, pear and chocolate. I like the idea that they don't have that "gluten-free" consistency you often get with sweets using GF flour. For FODMAP-pers, I apologise - I made these biscuits thinking pear was okay when it's not. Will work towards more delicious FODMAP sweets soon!

Makes about 18

3 ripe bananas mashed
1 pear, cooked, mashed (enough to make 1/3 cup)
2 cups oats
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup lactose-free milk
1/2 cup dark chocolate bits (optional)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon

Peel and dice pear. Place in a saucepan with a small amount of water (about 1/2 cup) over a medium heat. Cook until soft and slightly translucent (about 20 minutes), remove from heat and mash. Allow to cool.

Preheat oven to 180. Line a tray with non-stick baking paper.

Combine all the dry ingredients in one bowl and all the wet ingredients in another. Then, combine them together. Drop small piles of mixture on a tray. Put in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool (they are a little sticky to get off the baking paper).
