This recipe for banana oatmeal cookies is perfect for a quick snack, healthy treat, or even as an on-the-go breakfast! The base of the cookie is simple: bananas and rolled oats. But the mix-in ideas are endless! Throw in a small handful of your favorite nuts or nut butter, some chocolate chips, dried fruit, coconut shreds, etc! You can really get creative and it can be a great way to get rid of those last ripe bananas or the last handful of nuts. If you find these cookies are not quite sweet enough for your satisfaction, you can always add some honey or a sprinkling of brown sugar.
