Chewy Banana Oat Cookies

My daughter, Shannon and I made these cookies yesterday.  They were a delightful surprise.  There is no added sugar in the recipe other than the natural sweetness of the banana and it's enough.  This makes a small batch so  I'll double this recipe when I made it again.  Instead of ripe bananas, the recipe says you can also use mashed sweet potato or acorn squash.
