Healthy Banana Cookies

In my attempt to eat healthier and get rid of bananas I came across a great recipe.  I have since changed it up a bit to make it suit us......me and Brant. The boys were not crazy about these. 
First off I must tell you these are not super sweet, but they are pretty darn healthy and just the right amount of sweetness for me.  I am trying to change my thinking and taste for more natural sweetness. Now don't think I have gone too crazy and would not eat a big fat chocolate chip cookie.  Of course I would!  BUT I am trying to change my habits.  These are a good start.  And if I need a little more sweetness I'll just put a spoonful of Nutella on top((wink-wink)).

Hope you will give them a try.  And I hope you enjoy the healthiness.
