Peanut Butter & Banana Oatmeal Cookies (Egg-Free, Milk-Free) image

These cookies are so simple--only 5 ingredients! The best part is they are healthier than your average cookie. They are moist, chewy and crispy-brown on the bottom. My family likes them as a snack or even for breakfast, and I hope yours does too! (Note #1: These cookies are best enjoyed fresh--meaning within the first day or two of being made. This is because they are very moist, and the moisture changes the texture of the cookie the longer they are stored in an air-tight container. Note #2: DO NOT substitute any other type of oats. Use only quick-cooking oats, or the cookies will not hold together as well once baked.)
