Peanut Butter Banana Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies

I know, long name. It has been raining for days in Boston and in an effort to embrace the weather as cozy and comforting as opposed to annoying and difficult, I made cookies. Really, really good cookies. These guys are so rich and satisfying they leave you wanting nothing more. xo

3 Large Ripe Bananas, smashed

1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract

1/4 Cup vegetable Oil

1/2 Tsp Salt

1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
