Okay, back to the cookie 🙂
We made these cookies last Sunday and I have enjoyed two of them each morning for breakfast all week. I did not add the nuts and I added less chocolate chips than it called for. I wanted to make these a little bit lower in calories so I could enjoy two for breakfast instead of one. I am guessing the ones we made are about 75 calories a cookie.
Taylor and Carson have been enjoying them with me, but Carson told me he really likes plain chocolate chip cookies much better!
I’ve been having so much fun making cookies with these two on the weekends! Carson actually helps a good bit, but little Tay usually just helps with making the mess!
The picture below just cracks me up, especially Carson and Rocky’s faces!!

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Mix together the bananas, peanut butter, applesauce, vanilla, and spices. Add in the oats, nuts, chocolate chips, and coconut; stir until well combined.
Spoon a rounded 2 tbsp. of the cookie mixture onto the lined baking sheet, leaving an inch or two between each and flatten slightly. I placed a few more chocolate chips on top of each cookie. Bake for 20-30 minutes and allow to cool slightly.
