Low calorie banana bread cookies
I would like to crown these low calorie banana bread cookies THE cookies of fall! They're just as warming, cozy, spiced and delicious as a freshly baked banana bread but with the simplicity, ease and quickness of a cookie! Plus, at just 86 calories a cookie, there is truly no better low calorie sweet treat to indulge in this autumn!
