Hello to all of Remodelaholic’s friends! It’s Ruthie from What’s Cooking with Ruthie.com and I’m SO happy to be here with all of you!
At our house we love banana’s- in fact I have to keep them stocked up just like milk or my kids think it’s time to go to the store! BUT, every once in awhile… some of our banana’s get a little too ripe.
I like to save the over-ripe ones to make these Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Banana Cookies!

These look amazing Ruthie! I love bananas and combine it with chocolate and it’s heaven! Thanks for sharing. Great presentation.
I notice in the list of ingredients that it called for neufatchel cheese but in the instructions it doesn’t say when to incorporate it…?
Dawn, I was told that you would just add the cream cheese with the butter. Enjoy!
