These cookies and moist and delicious and the addition of the whole wheat flour and whole grain oats makes them healthier than most. Plus they are a perfect way to use those frozen bananas you might have sitting in your freezer.  You can vary the recipe by adding 1/2 cup of chopped nuts if you wish.

• Ingredients
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 bananas, mashed
• 1 cup whole grain oats
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Grease a cookie sheet or line with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the butter and blend until the mixture is crumbly. Next add the egg, vanilla and bananas and combine until smooth. Last, fold in the oats and chocolate chips. Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the cookie sheet and place on the middle rack in your oven. Bake for 12 minutes until the edges are browned. Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool.
