Comments: I make these on Sunday and eat them as breakfast for the rest of the week. These are great for having a healthy and filling breakfast on the go. The riper the bananas the sweeter the "cookie". This is really more of a breakfast bar (and a healthy one at that) than a cookie. Taken for what it is, it's really quite tasty -- a bit like banana bread. And best of all there is no sugar or wheat :)
