Except for these. These are great cookies for pre-workouts or a quick energizing breakfast - and consist of basically 3 health-friendly ingredients that'll satisfy a sweettooth without killing your regime, and are a great way to use up any over-ripe bananas. They're basically made of nothing but oats, bananas, and whatever addition of essence, nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips you choose. So easy, and so fast, and a healthy alternative to the usual cookie. How can you NOT love these soft, dense creations? The downside is that they dont last longer than 3 days. The upside? I doubt they'll stay un-eaten for that long.
