1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
⅓ cup vegetable oil

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 overripe banana, mashed (optional)

Place the raisins in a small bowl and cover with water to plump them.
Meanwhile, finely grind the toasted walnuts and ½ cup of the oats in a small food processor. Combine this mixture with the remaining dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Mix together the wet ingredients (and banana if using) in a small bowl and add to the dry-ingredients bowl. Stir to combine.
Drain the raisins and fold them into the batter.
