Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) conventional mode and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Soak the raisins in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften them, then drain and squeeze out excess water.
3. In a large bowl, mash the banana with a fork until it becomes a smooth puree without large lumps.
4. Peel the apple and grate it finely using a medium-hole grater; immediately add it to the banana with lemon juice to prevent browning.
5. Add the rolled oats, drained raisins, and cinnamon to the fruit mixture.
6. Mix thoroughly and let the dough rest for 5 minutes, allowing the oats to absorb the moisture from the fruit.
7. Using a spoon, take about 25-30g of the mixture and form 15 small balls, placing them on the baking sheet spaced apart.
8. Lightly flatten each ball with the back of the spoon to create a cookie shape (about 1 cm thick).
9. Bake on the center rack for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the center remains soft.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving to allow the texture to set.
