I am allergic to apples and used pumpkin instead. And in another batch I used pear butter and pumpkin because I was out of bananas. I also added carob chips and used gluten free flour and oats. These cookies were a big hit at Thanksgiving.

They definately dont taste like traditional oatmeal cookies, but still pretty good. Very few ingredients, super soft and moist, I actually ran out of oats but used 2 packets (3/4 cup) of maple brown sugar instant oatmeal. I also threw in a handful of chopped walnuts. This is more of a yummy powerhouse cookie. Thanks for posting, I will be making these again.

Ok, so I followed this recipe as a loose guideline to make the kind of cookies I was looking for. Then I ended up making them into bars instead. I didn't use the banana; 1/2 cup sorghum flour & 1/2 cup oat flour instead of the flour; 2 tbsp molasses & 2 tbsp agave nectar instead of brown sugar; 1 cup of oatmeal; and then I added 1 tbsp almond butter, a handful of dried cranberries, a handful of pumpkin seeds, and a handful of walnuts. Then I pressed it into a 8" square pan, and baked for 30 minutes at 350F. Got a cookie bar that tasted pretty good, but it felt like it was missing something (possibly from my own substitutions). In any case, I would definitely use this recipe again.
