Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are the perfect after-school or lunchbox snack, because they’re nutritious from the bananas and oats and delicious because of the chocolate. It uses rolled oats (an excellent source of fiber and whole grain), as well as canola oil and soy milk as substitutions for butter and full-fat milk. The recipe also contains bananas, which add another dimension of flavor and—bonus!—are a CarbLover’s Diet CarbStar food because they contain resistant starch

(Make 30-48 cookies)
