I got this from About.com. When I found it, it seemed to be exactly for what I was looking when I began playing with the oatmeal cookie recipe that Michael submitted. I didn't add the peanut butter, as the naturaly stuff I have from Whole Foods wasn't smooth enough (I didn't feel like dealing with it, even though it had already been sitting out for a few hours) and I certainly wasn't going to use my husband's stuff with the corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup. I only used a half cup of oats per batch since any more seemed like too much. The cookies are doughy, but I like them that way and they're good with my Smart Source spread. I also omitted the vanilla as I realized I didn't have any after I started mixing them. I'm sure that they would taste better with it. They kinda taste like a cross between banana oatmeal and banana bread. Yummy.
