Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Cookies!

Sometimes I will buy bananas and they will start to get soft before I have a chance to eat every last one. Instead of letting them get to dark I just pop them in the freezer for a later time. I just hate to waste!

So today I thawed one of my bananas in a zip lock bag and ran hot water over it for a bit. Didn't take too long. It will naturally mash itself so to speak in the hot water, which is nice because then you don't have to mash it.         Here is what you'll need for this tastey treat:

1 med Banana(mashed)

1/2 cup Peanut Butter

1 egg

1/2 cup of white and brown sugar each

1 cup of flour

1/2 tsp of baking soda and powder each

1/4 tsp salt 

2 tsp room temp butter

1 1/2 cups quick rolled oats

Preheat oven to 350. Then mix your flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Next in a larger bowl beat butter with both sugars till creamy then add egg, peanut butter, and mashed banana. After this is beaten, start adding flour mixture while beating, beat until combination is smooth. After everything is added, add the oats and blend. Scoop onto cookie sheet in little dallops. They will spread so keep in mind to leave room. Bake 10-13 min or until slightly browned. Don't forget to serve with a Tall glass of ice cold milk! Yum!

You can also add chocolate chips or nuts. Nuts will make it taste like banana nut bread!
