Description
This recipe was developed to satisfy my craving for a cookie but with nutrition in mind. Are these “healthy” cookies? No, not really, but they are healthier than some of their relatives. Another great thing is that they stay moist and soft, making them almost like a tiny cake! Why call them Monkey Treats? The bananas, of course!
Ingredients
- ½ cups Butter, Softened
- ½ cups Vegetable Shortening
- ½ cups Brown Sugar
- ½ cups Peanut Butter
- 3 Ripe Bananas, Peeled
- 2 Eggs

Preparation
1. In the bowl of a large mixer, cream the butter, shortening and sugar until fluffy. Add the peanut butter and bananas. Mix until completely smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla, mixing until combined.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
3. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients, 1 cup at a time, mixing completely between each addition.
4. Stir the chocolate chips into the batter.
5. Place 1-tablespoon scoops of batter on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving at least 1 inch between each cookie.
6. Bake in preheated 375ºF oven for 12–15 minutes until lightly brown.
7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the pan for 1 minutes. Then immediately remove to a cooling rack.
