1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a small bowl, combine the firs six ingredients.
3. In a separate bowl, cream together mashed banana and butter. Add sugar, vanilla, and egg and mix until combined. Gradually mix in flour and cinnamon mixture.
4. Gently stir in oatmeal and raisins, then chill dough for at least 30 minutes.
5. Scoop out dough onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. It should be roughly two heaping tablespoons of dough for each cookie, I got 15 cookies.
6. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until tops are slightly golden brown. I left mine slightly under baked.

Notes

I've made these cookies with dried cranberries instead of raisins and they were great! You could also mix in ? cup walnuts, pecans, etc.
