I've worked super hard at breaking that, and it's amazing to me to compare things I ate in the past to how I eat them now. For example, I eat unsweetened oatmeal now - I never would have done that 5 years ago. And eating it that sweet now just doesn't taste good to me. That being said - I'd never turn down a chocolate chip cookie! But thanks for this recipe, which will be a whole lot better for me than the chocolate chip cookies I made this week for my contractor, (and that I maybe ate a few of myself)!

I mixed peanut butter (unsweetened but salted, the cookies are really salty, haha. Ingredients in peanut butter are peanuts, palm oil, and salt. It's the 365 brand, maybe the no-stir kind) and melted coconut oil. It was over half cup peanut butter, and the rest coconut oil, to equal ...about a cup total, not sure on specifics. Then I added a dropper-full of NOW stevia glycerite (less may have worked too). Mixed that up really well, and then added that in place of the banana. That's really the only adjustment I made. I didn't add the peanuts or nibs, but I added some chopped unsweetened chocolate to a few of them. They're good without though. They are really good, kind of like peanut butter shortbread.

They are in the oven, with the oil/nut butter/stevia combo you suggested, in place of the banana, and the batter/dough is delicious! I used peanut butter and coconut oil (not sure exactly how much of each, but more peanut butter, and the mixture equaled about a cup). I will definitely try them as written if I start eating sweeter fruits any time soon. My batter had a slight stevia aftertaste, but it is not overwhelming. NOTHING like my first experience baking cookies with stevia. Next time I will probably try cutting the stevia in half (I think I was a little over zealous and used a dropper full right off the bat).
