My toddler asks for them nearly every morning.
Apparently, this is something I did too, so my mother tells me. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, as they say. Although this time it might be the banana.
I say, if you maintain some nutritional value, why not? We'll call them cookies even if they are -- gasp! -- good for you.
They're perfect for busy mornings. You can even freeze them and defrost for a few seconds in the microwave if you want to make a large batch. And it is the great way to use up those brown bananas on the counter-top. Enjoy with a cup of tea or a glass of milk!
