These cookies are so yummy, and semi-nutritional with the banana's and oatmeal in there. Super moist and I threw tons of chocolate chips (because I'm a chocoholic) so needless to say they were realllllly addicting!

I made these for a wine tour 10 of us went on at the Finger Lakes. Obviously chocolate pairs well with wine, and the oatmeal help absorb so we could continue our 6 hour day of tasting!

I think what we all agreed was the best is the texture of them. Moist with chewy oats and soft chocolate chips... I'm still drooling!!
