Happy Happy Tuesday everybody !!! I know it’s still early in the week, but dang y’all I’m sooo looking forward to the upcoming long weekend. Am I doing anything super crazy and fun? Heck no, but being able to just chill with family and friends and having one extra day of not having to wake up at the booty crack of dawn sounds just wonderful.
Speaking of, I genuinely can’t believe it’s almost September, for reals y’all, how did that happen? Didn’t we just start 2016? Sheesh, time is continually going by faster and faster but if we can get to Fall & the wonderful Fall temperatures faster then I’m soo okay with that haha. Anyways, I am way excited to share these cookies with you guys today, because they were totally a happy accident.
The other day I was eating my typical oatmeal with peanut butter with breakfast but I was feeling extra hungry so I decided to throw in half a banana because yum haha. Y’all that oatmeal was soo good, I had to make myself not make another bowl, but it did get me thinking about what an incredible dessert it would make. I figured cookies would be the best bet and dang y’all these are so delicious. They taste like banana bread with a hint of peanut butter, so yummy you guys. I hope you’re having a wonderful day and thank you so much for stopping by!!!
