I'm already looking forward to having overripe bananas so I can make these cookies again. Regular rolled oats worked well, and I only added half the cloves. Many compliments received!

I rate this as a 4.5 star as is. Now I left out the baking soda because I found out that ingrediants like baking soda, baking powder and salt are not neccessary. The cookies taste great and the body holds great. So why add all that extra sodium when its not needed. I well not use those ingrediants when possible.

I made these yesterday. They are ok. A little sweet and not one I will probably make again.

Pretty good recipe. Very moist. Could've been a little sweeter though. But everyone liked them and they were simple enough that I'd likely make again.

Thanks!
