These cookies have become a favorite sweet treat for me. They taste like banana nut bread, and they have a great chew to them. I really feel like I’m eating something bigger even when I have only one cookie. The best part is that each cookie is only about 68 calories!  With the fiber from the oats and healthy fats from the nuts, this treat is a dessert I can have when I’m counting calories.  To avoid the artificial sweetener, simply omit the Splenda brown sugar blend and double the honey.
