Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Cookies

I was really craving some banana bread, but also didn't want to go through the "production" of making it and really didn't want to wait that long for it to bake LOL So, I decided that I needed to come up with a cookie that satisfied the banana bread craving and only take about 10 minutes to bake! Win-win right there!

Hopefully you will love these as much as I did! They are awesome for a treat paired with a little unsweetened Vanilla almond milk or have two for breakfast with some coffee and a piece of fruit to round things out!

If you are following the 21 Day Fix, I would count these as a yellow treat for the week. The good news is that I made a small batch recipe that makes just 4 cookies at a time, so you don't over do it and turn into the cookie monster! :) #thestruggleisreal But if you are making these for the family- you can easily just double the recipe and make 8 cookies etc.
