Awesome super healthy cookies

YOU GUYS!!! I just made the BEST cookies ever, all thanks to Pinterest. 3 ingredients, 10 minutes of prep (probably less), and 20 minutes in the oven. Bananas, quick oats, chocolate chips. That's it!!

Amazing cookies from The Burlap Bag.

So I modified the original Burlap Bag recipe a little bit. I used 4 frozen-then-thawed bananas. (I'm not sure how the original recipe calls for only 2 fresh bananas, but I think probably something happens in the freeze/thaw process that makes it so you need more of them.) And I added 1/3 cup chocolate chips. The whole recipe made about 16 medium-sized cookies. 

I baked them for 17 minutes and they came out very nicely! A little soft though. I'm curious to see whether they'll harden after sitting out a little bit. If not, that's OK cos I like the texture anyway. They're delicious warm, and 2 WW+ points each. A little high for what you get, but I could probably take out the chocolate chips next time and they'd be 1 point each. Or maybe try mini chocolate chips instead. Either way, I think these are SUPER easy and much healthier than the thousands of store-bought cookies. 

I also made banana peanut butter chocolate ice cream (added a little chocolate syrup), but these came out to 5 WW+ points per 1/4 cup. I'm sort of surprised by that, especially since I used this new PB called "Better N Peanut Butter", which is SO MUCH better for you than 99% of the peanut butters I've come across. (It's at TJs in Columbia, if you're looking for it!)

Anyway, the ice cream'll probably taste good (the batter did--guilt-less spoon-licking!), but maybe a little less peanut butter/syrup next time. Oh well. I'm siked for now anyway. :)
