Oatmeal peanut butter banana chocolate chip cookies

By srumbel

full of oats, whole wheat flour, very little oil and sugar, and just a touch of chocolate! Plus it is just bursting with the flavors of peanut butter and banana. They are also very sturdy with the oats, but incredibly soft and moist too from the addition of the peanut butter and banana. They are the perfect little treat when you’re wanting something sweet but don’t want to over-do it with the butter and sugar.
