I did the recipe and added eggs, but I added a banana mashed in advanced. Now 5 days later my son inhaled them. So he asked me to put the recipe in a square pan and bake bars. Well it took 40 minutes and its a cake. But good. I sprinkled cookie sugar and cinnamon on top. Ty guys!

I like them, but it turned out more the consistency of a scone than a cookie. I did alter the recipe by using about a 1/2 cup more flour (as others had recommended) and used two eggs (also as others recommended). I used some cinnamon... didn't measure it out, just eyeballed it. I also used some vanilla, again just eyeballing it. They definitely need something extra to give it that little extra oomph, like some chocolate chips or something. In all honesty, after preparing them, even with using 2 cups of oats, I could not taste the oatmeal.

I gave this four stars because I also added an egg to the recipe. This is a vegan recipe, which is great but I think you should include the banana or applesauce as an egg replacement. Should be included in primary ingredients, not optional. I cut the recipe in half cuz I only had one egg. This was simple and absolutely amazing! I also added cinnamon, vanilla, and walnuts. Fun time with my 4 year old daughter! Thank you!!! Made perfect cookies! I usually mess up. I'll try the vegan version next time with bananas. Again, thanks for sharing!

It's good not to sweet. I added one cup of peanut butter, an extra cup of flour, one ripe banana, two eggs, one cup of raisins, and used chocolate chip oatmeal packets. Thought that would be to much but it works well together.... Lol Reminds me of banana nut muffins.

These are excellent. You must use "real" butter. They need nothing else added.

 Theresa (Florida) says:
I don't know why but my cookies are flat. They taste wonderful but are flat and break up really easily.

 Neve H. (Washington) says:
I agree with adding 2 eggs and a little cinnamon! But I added 1/2 cup more of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla! It tasted amazing, add vanilla extract for sure!
