Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Submitted by Chef #652548

"Simple, pretty healthy, dessert that goes great with vanilla frozen yogurt. The texture isn't your typical cookies. It's a bit cake like due to the bananas. Also, I used 50/50 half wheat, half white flour, but I'm sure using either one would work just fine."
