2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup peanut butter, creamy or chunky
2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp vanilla extract

Tips
You can cut down a few more calories by replacing regular peanut butter with PB2
Directions
Preheat heat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix mashed banana and peanut butter until completely combined then add in the applesauce, vanilla extract, and vanilla protein powder (optional) and butter flavor extract (optional); mix again until all are completely combined.
Add in the oatmeal and nuts to the banana mixture and combine. (** Add the optional carob / chocolate chips at this time if you want them mixed throughout or wait to add them to the top)
Let dough rest for 10 minutes.
Drop cookie dough, by spoonfuls, onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and flatten cookies into circles. (** If you just want the carob / chocolate chips on the top of the cookies, add now)
Bake cookies approx. 20-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let rest on cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then move to cooling rack.
When cookies are completely cool, store in a covered container. Enjoy!
