Peanut Butter Banana Nut Cookies

Hi Everyone and Happy Halloween,

This has been an odd cooking week for me. I have been eating bigger lunches and not as much for dinner, so I haven’t been cooking. I like to cook nice dinners for the weekend, but as you can tell I like to do some baking too. Saturday and Sundays are my big blog days for me in reference to gearing up my recipes for the week.

Today I have for you Peanut Butter Banana Nut Cookies. Yummy! These cookies are healthy, easy to make and simply are guilt-free. They make for a nice breakfast cookie or an afternoon snack. They are moist, almost cake like and chock full of nuts, banana and chocolate chips and of course a peanut butter flavor. I love peanut butter and banana together.
