Unfortunately, these did not go over well in my house. They were dry, and I even added the banana like some suggested. Using a measured scoop, mine only made about 20, so maybe they had to bake longer since they were bigger, therefore drying out.

Yum! I was looking for a healthier cookie to have on hand. This is it: delicious, satisfying, hearty and more nutritious than the usual (albeit tasty) blobs of butter and sugar. What's more, my teenagers like these hearties! Thanks for sharing your recipe, Janet.

OH, YUM! I made these with2C whole wheat pastry flour, 1/4 C apple sauce and 1/4 C butter, and instead of rolled oats, I used rolled 5 grain cereal from the bulk foods section of my grocery store (rye, barley, wheat, oats) and pulsed them in the Cuisenart before adding. Other than those modifications, I followed the recipe and they turned out great!

I added about 1/2 cup of applesauce to this and bake it in a 7 x 11 pan; then cut it into bars when it was cool. Very mosit and peanuty too. I also used crunchy peanut butter---that's all I had on hand.

My gosh did these cookies turn out great! Wonderful recipe. The only change I made was substituting a cup of mini choco chips for one cup of the raisins. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly! Super healthy cookie!

Yummy! My husband and daughter both love them. I put some in the freezer to pack in the diaper bag (she's 19 months). It will be thawed by the time she's ready to eat it. I might reduce the sugar to just 1 cup next time... I think they'd still be wonderful. Taste like oatmeal breakfast squares, only better. Thanks Janet!! I'll be making these over and over again.
