I was in the mood for cookies, inspired by the lost recipe club, and love all things oat, so made this this afternoon.

Pros: I gotta say, I've eaten a lot of cookies in my time, and these are pretty near the top! Crunchy on the outside, oat-ey and soft on the inside.

Cons: A little flour-ey, I would drop the flour by a quarter cup, and it'd be fine. Also, the recipe says serves 16; although I tend to eat a smidge of the dough, I make reasonably sized cookies and got two-dozen cookies out of it. Around my friends, no way does that serve 16 people  Grin

Alterations: I didn't have banana, so I used canned pumpkin that I needed to use up. There's only a hint of the pumkpin flavor, so I imagine the bananas would only be slightly present, and would taste pretty darn good. Additionally, I made the peanut butter frosting from here: http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=15134.0 and put it on top of half of the cookies.

Enjoy with a tall glass of cold beverage!

I never thought about substituting pumpkin as an egg replacer.  How much pumpkin is needed to replace an egg?  A pumpkin sub is much lower in calories than a banana, too. Great idea!

I used 1/3 cup - the same amount suggested for the banana. I shouldn't have reviewed so quickly though - the more people that ate my cookies (I shared them at church), the more people liked them! They remarked that they were airy, yet hearty, and a lot of people liked the mutiple flavors they could taste. I don't know the nutritional info for the canned pumpkin, but I use it in almost all of my baked goods - I love pumpkin!

Whoa dudes, I made these again tonight (with an Earth Balance tub for a measuring cup!) and I didn't have pumpkin, so I made them with the banana instead. They're even BETTER! Which is hard because icanhas too much punkin!

I'm not really a cookie person, so I'm a bad judge, but I made these for a crew and they can't stop talking about how yummy they are - there are so many deep, yet delightful flavors packed into one little nubbin' of a cookie!

Alterations: made one batch with raisins instead of choc chips and another one with nuts (not as good).

These cookies were tasty. I'd never baked with carob chips before so I was super excited to try this. I like the texture the oatmeal brings to these cookies. Great recipe however, I changed a few things. I substituted the "turbinado" sugar and used a mixture of regular organic sugar and brown sugar instead. I also substituted the molasses with agave nectar and they came out just fine. I only had two cookies left before I could take a picture so that must be a good sign! Thanks for sharing!
