Banana Grain Drop Biscuits

This is another healthy, whole grain breakfast biscuit. This one contains banana, so it goes especially well spread with peanut butter. These biscuits are quick and easy - no rolling and cutting involved! It does make a small batch, about ten biscuits, but may easily be doubled. 
Banana Grain Drop Biscuits
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup natural wheat bran
1/4 cup oat bran
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 overripe banana, mashed
1/2 cup milk or water
1 Tablespoon honey or molasses or maple syrup
1 Tablespoon olive oil

Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the first eight dry ingredient. Make a well in the center.
In a separate small bow, combine remaining liquid ingredients.
Add the liquid to the dry and stir until combined.
Drop dough by spoonfuls (I used an ice cream scoop for a nice round shape) onto prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until lightly browned.
