Low Fat Chocolate Chip Banana Cookies

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 2 cups oats (the original recipe called for quick oats, but I used old fashioned oats with great results)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1/2 cup turbinado/raw sugar (or regular sugar)
• 1/2 cup unpacked Muscavado sugar or brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/3 cup mashed banana, which is a almost one whole banana, OR same amount of unsweetened apple sauce (see footnote)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips (Ghirardelli 60% cacao chips are my favorite!), OR walnuts, if you’re into that.
