The One: "Healthy" Cookies


That little devil Pinterest has managed to convince me that there is such a thing as a "healthy" cookie.  I've tried several recipes that have made this claim, but haven't been much of a fan so far.  Today we had two bananas sitting around that were about to be overripe, so I decided to mush them up and add in a few other ingredients and hope for the best.  These actually turned out really good (they even got Colin's seal of approval!) and I'll definitely be making them again.

1 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 ripe bananas
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, or could be substituted with raisins)
1-2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350.  Peel and mash bananas in a large bowl.  Add in all other ingredients and mix.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then drop by tablespoonfuls onto baking sheet.  Bake for 15-20 minutes, until lightly browned.
