Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Cookies
I heavily modified a recipe I found online and created my new favorite peanut butter cookies.
This recipe somehow avoids the chalky texture that peanut butter can bring, and the banana is subtle but definitely present.
The original recipe made a thick cakey cookie. I hate cakey cookies, so I did my best to make them chewy. They're still a little cakey but if you bake them a little longer they develop a nice crust.
This recipe also uses rolled oats. I'm not a huge fan of oats in cookies, but I'm making an exception for these.
