Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Cookies are full of oats, whole wheat flour, very little oil and sugar, and just a touch of chocolate!oatmeal peanut butter banana chocolate chip cookies

Oh boy, are these oatmeal cookies good!  After a particularly indulgent week last week with a fun blogger dinner, Valentine’s Day and a weekend full of eating out, I wanted to bake something healthy.  This peanut butter banana oatmeal cookie is just what I was dreaming of – full of oats, whole wheat flour, very little oil and sugar, and just a touch of chocolate!

Plus it is just bursting with the flavors of peanut butter and banana.  These oatmeal cookies are also very sturdy with the oats, but incredibly soft and moist too from the addition of the peanut butter and banana.  They are the perfect little treat when you’re wanting something sweet but don’t want to over-do it with the butter and sugar.

    They look & sound delicious. Just wondering though if the canola oil could be substituted with a healthier oil like olive or maybe even coconut?

      I would say yes…in fact, I am planning on making these again once I re-stock on oats and am going to use coconut oil this time. Thanks for the great idea! 🙂

    Thank you for sharing your amazing recipe!! I found your recipe doing a search on my three favorite ingredients, oatmeal, PB, and Banana. These turned out incredibly soft and moist. Plus I know it’s packed with healthy ingredients. These may be gone before hubby comes back from home 🙂
