Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • Measure out the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, mashed banana, unsweetened applesauce, honey (if using), and ground cinnamon.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, and cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.
4. Add Wet Ingredients:
   • Add the mashed banana, unsweetened applesauce, and honey (if using) to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until a thick, sticky dough forms.
5. Form Cookies:
   • Use a tablespoon to scoop small amounts of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each scoop slightly with a fork or the back of a spoon to form cookie shapes.
6. Bake:

   • Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. This will help them firm up and become crispy.
8. Store and Pack:
