Banana Oat Chocolate Chunk Cookies are the perfect combination of some of my favorite things: oatmeal cookies, banana bread, and chocolate chip cookies.
These perfect cookies are thick and hearty with texture from the oats and chocolate chunks. They are full of warming fall spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. They have a hint of banana, but not too much.
I ate these cookies for breakfast 4 days in a row. But really though, in terms of cookies, these are about as healthy at it gets!
