1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Add next seven ingredients and mix, making sure the bananas get completely pureed.
Add in the oats or cereal.
Pulse in the pine nuts and chocolate chips (or stir in by hand) so they don't get crushed.
Drop by tablespoons on greased cookie sheets.
Bake for 15 minutes or until just starting to turn brown; cool for 5-10 minutes before removing from cookie sheet to avoid breakage.

SO GOOD (FOR YOU) OATMEAL COOKIES!

So Good (For You) Oatmeal Cookies! image

Due to making a deal with my sister to not have any SUGAR, I was forced to recreate some of our favorite treats, using natural alternatives! I'm happy to say...I like these better than the REAL DEAL! They are packed full of "good stuff", so you can eat them, guilt free (for the most part). In fact, my kids say that it's just too hard to only eat one! :0) They come out moist and chewy. You could, also, easily turn these into a great oatmeal chocolate chip cookie! So, have fun experimenting, and let me know what you think!
