Peanut Butter Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies

These healthy 5 Ingredient Flourless Peanut Butter Banana Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies are insanely delicious with just the right amount of delicious flavors of peanut butter, banana, oats and chocolate shining through.  Cookies can be made gluten-free and are vegan as well!

Not only are they healthy, they taste amazing.  That means you can indulge without all that presumed guilt, smiling and devouring 1 or 3 at a time. It's kind of like finding hidden treasure when you can latch onto a recipe that tastes good, besides being healthy.  Simple to make, has very few ingredients, and even has your favorite ingredients! 

Only 5 Ingredients:

Peanut butter, oats, ripe banana, chocolate chips and a sweetener of choice, like maple syrup or brown sugar. 

These flourless cookies are so awesome still warm, right after they are baked. They come out golden brown and a little toasty on the outside, soft and moist on the inside, exploding with peanut butter, banana and chocolate flavor. 

After a day or more, like most banana cookies, they change color a bit, but they are still tasty as ever.  They are amazing warm or cold and can be enjoyed as a breakfast cookie and for snacking pleasures. 

I made 2 batches and after eating 2 or so over the course of one day and then the next day again I had 3 for breakfast. 

I also came to the conclusion, this was one of those perfect recipes I could keep around the house, and it would satisfy my sweet tooth for sure for all the right reasons.  Reluctantly, I gave ½ of them away on the 2nd day, and it was like one of those 'parting is such sweet sorrow' kind of moments.  Check out these 25 Delicious Recipes for Ripe Bananas!
