Additional Information:

I have some over-ripe bananas and decided to make them into banana & oats cookies. It can keep in an air-tight container for 4 days. I divided the dough into two and added 1 tablespoon of honey to the other half. The half without honey tasted sweet enough for me and Baby FECS. She ate a lot of it. So actually I don't need to add honey to sweeten it.
