Notes
- Choose ripen bananas for these oatmeal cookies, the more ripen, the better. They will add more sweetness, and a smoother texture too. Plus, it helps you get rid of those nearly black bananas you no longer fancy eating. So a win-win situation here.
- Unlike the cookies that use butter and refined sugar that make them rather crispy, these oatmeal cookies are soft on the inside and so moist, which makes them perfect to be munched by little ones too.
- Once they cool down, they keep their soft texture, although they are baked to perfection and are slightly crunchy on the outside. The banana and peanut butter not only bind them together nicely, but they also add the right amount of moisture.
- For a bit of crunch you can add any nuts to them, otherwise other great options are raisins or any other dried fruit or chocolate chips.
