Healthy Oatmeal Surprise Cookies

Karen gives us a tastier way to eat our bananas and oats, and a healthier way to enjoy our cookies. Being creative and versatile is a very important skill to have in the kitchen, and Karen tries to instill these ideas on us by encouraging us to try different ingredients for our Surprise Cookies. Not only are they easy to make and tasty, they also keep very well in the freezer. This can be made in a variety of ways, including vegan, and sugar-free!
