Ingredients

• 4 large overripe bananas, mashed (about 2 cups)
• 2 1/2 cups quick oats
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons chunky peanut butter
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Here's how to make them:

1. In a large mixing bowl, add the bananas. Stir in the oats, adding enough to make a thick batter. (Oats are naturally gluten-free, but if you need to be sure, use gluten-free oats. You may need to add more oats, as needed, to achieve a thick, not runny, batter.)
2. Add the cinnamon, peanut butter, walnuts and chocolate chips or chunks, if using. Stir to combine. (I used chunky peanut butter, but you could use regular peanut butter or other nut butter, if desired. You can use dark chocolate chips or semisweet chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips, but dark chocolate may have the most health benefits.)
3. Drop heaping tablespoons full of the cookie mixture onto a greased or lined cookie sheet. (The number of cookies will depend on how much batter you use for each cookie.)
4. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 15 minutes, or until cookies are light golden brown and set.
5. Serve cookies with fruit, coffee, milk or just on their own.
6. Store cookies in an airtight container.
