Healthier Oatmeal Banana Cookies

I had some bananas sitting around that desperately needed to get used.  I had enough to make our favorite Heavenly Vegan Banana bread (I will post about this later) but I still had a few bananas left over.  What should I make?  Ah yes.  Cookies!  So here is my next Kid Approved (and Dad too): Healthier Cookies recipe.

Healthier Oatmeal Banana Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups flour (I used whole wheat, rice and all purpose but you can use any one of these)

• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 2 TB Greek Yogurt
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 cup mashed bananas (I used 2.5 bananas, it was a little over 1 cup)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 2 cups oats (I used quick cooking but old fashioned is fine)
• 1/2 cup your favorite ingredient! (I used butterscotch chips, but feel free to use chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, raisins, cranberries, walnuts, etc)

Directions:
