Banana Oat Cookies

This morning I sat down to work on my website and nail out my e-course (which is taking quite a long time, but I want it to be PERFECT!). I’m a perfectionist, so that doesn’t help much either…. Well, while I was sitting here I saw my mom had three super ripe bananas. Shortly after these cookies were born.

I was thinking about making these with chocolate chips, but decided on blueberries and walnuts instead because I couldn’t find any dark chocolate chips. So sad. I did, however, find some chocolate protein powder that I added into 1/3 of the batter to see how it turned out and was pleasantly surprised at how good they were. Maybe I’ll make another post on those later.
