Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

Today I started!
After dinner I was so entirely bubbling over in a totally non-obnoxious way with energy that I decided to hit up Pinterest for a fairly quick recipe of sorts; one that can count towards my honors program briefly explained here. I ended up settling on an oatmeal cookie that we had most of the ingredients for. After just a few tweaks to the original recipe I came up with something that turned out rather delicious if I do say so myself:)

Here's a few photos and the recipe. Hope you enjoy!

"Healthy" Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients:2 Ripe Bananas, Mashed
1/3 C. Peanut Butter
2/3 C. Butter/Coconut oil
1 Tsp. Vanilla
1/2 Tsp. Salt
1 1/2 C. Quick or Old Fashioned Oats
1/2 C. Milk Chocolate Chips

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. My family uses lecithin instead of cooking spray to oil cookie sheets but use whatever you have within reach. Mix together the bananas, peanut butter, butter/coconut oil and vanilla. Add in the oats, salt and chocolate chips; stir until well combined.
Spoon a rounded 2 tbsp. (roughly) of the cookie mixture onto the cookie sheet, leaving an inch or two between each. Bake for 20-25 minutes and allow to cool slightly.

The best part about this little project was watching my two sisters, our best friend and my sister's boyfriend devour them while watching the Incredibles on our couch.
