Ooo, delicious!! These don’t sound too unhealthy either, I might have to try making these tomorrow!! :D (If my Mom lets me- hah!)
Thanks for the recipe! Can’t wait to make these.
These sound yummy AND healthy! It’s always extra special when you can get both!!
Thks for recipe, I will try them out, I love baking cookies…..mmmmmmm
Well, that went straight to the printer!
And then straight to my hips, by-passed my mouth completely. Throw in chocolate chips and the pecans as they suggest for an option and you have some deliciously decadent cookies.
Delicious! I can’t wait to try making them!
Thanks for the recipe, GANZ! ^-^ I would try these out… but I um, I honestly don’t care much for bananas, heheh :P However, I hope that all of who that decide to make this recipe enjoy your cookies! :)
I meant to say “you”, not “who”… sorry!
Agreed! Perhaps we could find a good fruit as a substitute…
TaffyKitty12, instead of banana, use unsweetened applesauce. The flavor isn’t noticeable like it is with bananas.
How much sugar is needed
Yes, it is not listed as an ingredient and these sound delicious!
It may be relying on the sweetness of the bananas alone.
Most often if a recipe calls for either applesauce or bananas, that is your sweetener. It also makes it a better choice for people who don’t want as much refined sugar in their diet.
