I love to bake cookies in the fall, and it’s even better when they are hardy cookies that taste and smell like fall. We had some bananas that were reaching their expiration point, and I had a yearning to bake. So, I googled banana oatmeal cookies, and found this recipe on Allrecipes.com. They are easy to make, crunchy and tasty, full of fiber and texture, and fun. They would be even better with an icing glaze drizzled over the top.

You can add dried cranberries, chocolate chips, or raisins if you would like to rev up the volume on these banana oatmeal cookies even more. Enjoy them with a cup of tea or hot cider. Yum.
Take care.
