I’m not sure what it is, but there’s just something about the sweet + salty combination that gets me every time. I’m a sucker for chocolate covered pretzels, salted caramel, and just about any other dessert with that sweet & savory allure.
In the past, I’ve shared some of my favorite peanut butter & banana cookies, like the Dirty Monkey Cookies and the Guilt Free Peanut Butter Cookies, which I make constantly…but last week I felt the need to spice things up a bit, or shall I say “salty” things up a bit! Sorry, I couldn’t resist. I ended up creating a cookie that contains everything that’s good in this World, peanut butter, bananas, oats, and pretzels…and the best part is that you shouldn’t feel guilty after eating this not-so-sweet treat; these cookies have very little sugar and mostly all natural ingredients, so they’re even perfect for a breakfast on the go!
Here they are, my Peanut Butter, Banana + Pretzel Cookies…
