Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are my kids’ new favorite snack and I don’t have an ounce of guilt serving them cookies after school now. I found this recipe in an old Cooking Light magazine, but I altered it slightly by using honey instead of white sugar. These cookies are chewy and moist and are kind of like little bites of banana bread.
They didn’t last long in our house as all 4 of us were caught with our hands in the cookie jar.
Enjoy!
