Can a cookie be healthy? At 85 calories, these chocolate banana oatmeal cookies<\/a> are guilt-free and satisfying. The mashed banana<\/a> replaces some of the fat, but also adds moisture, keeping these cookies soft and chewy. Oats<\/a> are a great source of slow-digesting carbs for lasting energy, plus they provide a nice texture with each bite. Use an overripe banana as these are the sweetest, and if you\u2019re feeling nutty, throw in some chopped walnuts, almonds or your favorite nut variety.<\/p>\n
