Here is a snack cake (i.e. healthy cookie) that is gluten free (GF) and almost fully NSNG (No Sugar No Grains).  The little bit of sugar comes from the cranberry sauce.  Otherwise, they are just banana-sweetened.  I used my Pineapple Cranberry Sauce, but you can use any cranberry sauce.

These are moist when baked for 10 minutes.  The sweetness of the banana pairs nicely with the tanginess of the cranberry.  Another new recipe success!
