Isn’t it nice having another option for all those extra bananas? One thing is for sure, I never seem to be lacking in my supply of overripe bananas by the end of the week.
I found this yummy cookie recipe on Alicia Silverstone’s blog, http://thekindlife.com. Go to her blog for the original recipe, Healthy Oatmeal, and Raisin Cookies. I had to make a couple of changes to my food allergies. I substituted soy or rice milk for almond milk and used gluten-free old-fashioned oats. Feel free to use any milk or non-dairy milk product. I also changed the mixing order.
My husband likes chopped walnuts in these cookies, too. There are endless add-in options, that’s for sure. Try unsweetened coconut, any type of dried fruit, nuts, seeds, and other grains like quinoa flakes.
GF banana, oat & applesauce cookies are also a great idea for packed lunches. Pack them frozen, and by the time you eat them they are soft and chewy : )
Weight Watcher points for these cookies are just 2 Weight Watcher points plus each.

These turned out wonderfully. We substituted chocolate chips for raisins and my picky 8 year old and husband are loving them. The recipe was also easy to follow and my kiddo really enjoyed making them with me. Thanks for sharing!
