The BEST Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are the best cookies to have in your daily life as a mid-day snack, post-dinner treat, or even breakfast. (Yep. I said it.) They are not too rich, somewhat healthy, easy to make, and they will satisfy your sweet tooth. I just made a fresh batch for the week, and decided to share them with you all. I will try to eat only 2/day.

Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
3 cups oat flour (store bought, or oatmeal ground to flour in a Quisinart)
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup banana puree (about 2 bananas)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup raw sugar
2/3 cup chocolate chips
2 teaspoons canola oil
2/3 cup light soy milk or skim milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

To Make Cookies
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl.
Combine all wet ingredients in a separate bowl.

Mix the dry and wet ingredients together, until well combined.

Use a large spoon to scoop batter onto an ungreased cookie sheet, or a cookie sheet covered with wax paper. Flatten a little with a fork.

Bake cookies for 16 minutes (a few minutes longer if you like them crunchy), rotating the pan halfway through.
Bake until the edges of the cookies are light brown.
Either eat the cookies while hot, or put them away in the freezer until ready to eat. Personally, I like 'em cold!

Helpful Hints:
1) Buy a large container of oatmeal so that you have plenty for turning into oat flour.
2) Trader Joe's has very affordable organic raw ("turbinado") sugar.

And a big ol' thanks to Lisa and Peggy for introducing me to this recipe.
