We’ve been baking a lot of cakes lately and decided to switch things up. We are officially in the season of baking and cookies are one of the most popular treats to bake during the holidays. Our banana nut oatmeal cookies are perfect if you are looking for something out of the norm.
If you are a fan of banana bread and oatmeal cookies you are going to love these! And we have to admit, one of us may have had them for breakfast this morning.
Not a fan of nuts or have an allergy? No problem, just remove them from the recipe. Try substituting the nuts for chocolate chips or make them simple with just the banana flavor. We want to try making them with peanut butter chips next time or maybe toffee bits!
We really hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do. If you make these cookies or decide to try something different with this recipe let us know. We would love to hear what you created!
