I think these are great, but if you go into it thinking they are going to taste like a Mrs. Field's cookie you might be slightly disappointed. HOWEVER, as a substitute to the typical morning bowl of oatmeal I think they are amazing! They are even better the 2nd day so they are great to take as on-the-go snacks. They are really convenient and a great whole food substitute for things like a processed granola bar. It will make about 16 cookies and each cookie has ~100 calories and ~4g protein
Ingredients
Directions
1) Preheat heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix mashed banana & peanut butter until completely combined then add in the applesauce and vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
2) Add in the oatmeal & nuts to the banana mixture & combine.
3) Let dough rest for 10 minutes.
4) Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet & flatten cookies into circles.
5) Bake cookies approx. 20-30 minutes or until golden brown & done. Remove from oven & let rest on cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then move to cooling rack.
6) When cookies are completely cool, store in a covered container
