Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Cookies
I had peanut butter, I had frozen bananas, I had oatmeal, I had raisins, and I wanted cookies. I just couldn't find the right recipe, so modified what I could find and came up with this one. The resulting cookies are pretty good, but are missing "something". I can't put my finger on it. If it was a savory recipe, I would say it needed more salt. Otherwise, I was pretty happy with them. They make a soft cookie with a good bite.

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, wisk together flours, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir in oatmeal and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together peanut butter and sugars. Add egg and banana and mix well.
- Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients bowl and mix together thoroughly with large spoon. Stir in nuts, chocolate chips, or raisins (I used raisins in my first batch -- didn't have either nuts or chocolate chips).
- Batter will be fairly wet, so put bowl in fridge for 15 minutes to firm up.
