Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Cookies [Gluten Free & Vegan]

Hi friends!

I am super excited because I’m heading to Lake Tahoe tomorrow for a getaway with my hubby! I’ve never gone skiing before, so wish me luck. We’re also planning on trying snowshoeing, and I found a bunch of restaurants that are my style — including a couple of vegan and gluten free specific eateries that I’m looking forward to trying out. I’ll certainly be recapping my trip next week, but today, let’s talk about another fun topic: cookies, specifically dark chocolate peanut butter banana oatmeal cookies. How’s that for a mouthful?

There are a few kitchen creations that are my go-to recipes when I’m in the mood for something specific. When I get into what I think of as a cookie monster mode, this is definitely one of my no brainers to make. When I felt the need to make them last week, I realized that I had yet to post the recipe on here…so I actually measured ingredients out and wrote them down as I was whipping them up this time so that I could share it with you. You’re welcome.

One of these days, I may try to sub some apple sauce for the oil, but every time I go to make these cookies, I decide that they’re just so yummy and perfectly fine the way they are. Due to my gluten free diet this month, I subbed my usual regular whole wheat flour for gluten free all purpose baking flour (made with garbanzo flour) and used certified gluten free oats this time. If you’re a fan of cookies, I highly suggest that you try these babies out!
