Bake approx 10 minutes or until the edges are browning. Very yummy! Best when hot so I re- heat each time I want some. They are under 50 cal per cookie. Great for breakfast too!!
I made these last night! I didn't have chocolate chips, but they are also great with nuts. I added 2 tsp of coconut oil, 2 tbsp of sliced almonds and 3 tsp of brown sugar, which changed the calories to about 65/ cookie. This is my go-to recipe for when I have overripe bananas.
