Banana Oat Cookies (Sugar free)Ingredients (use vegan versions): 2 1/2 cups of oats (preferably the quick kind)
2 tablespoons of flour (I use spelt)
2 bananas (over-ripe are the best, but others are fine)
1 teaspoon of corn starch
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract (I use the cheap imitation, lol)
Few generous dashes of cinnamon
Splash of soy or rice milk..(vanilla/chocolate flavored if you want a bit of sweetness)
Directions:Preheat oven to about 350 degrees F.
Mash the bananas and mix all ingredients in a large bowl.. easy!
Form mix into small balls and flatten.. place on a non-stick cookie sheet a couple centimeters apart. With the amounts in this recipe you'll probably have about half a dozen large cookies.
Place in the oven. They cook rather fast (especially with quick oats) so don't leave in too long.. About 15-20 minutes is usually good, but check to make sure they don't burn.
You can also add carob chips and/or raisins for some extra sweetness; but seriously, these cookies are delicious as is (chewy too).. I made them trying to help me overcome my vegan sugar addiction and they definitely satisfy me! Are especially good with some soy milk or tea.
Enjoy!
Serves: 2-3
Preparation time: 25 minutes
These cookies were pretty good. To add a bit more flavor and nutrition, I added 1/2 cup natural peanut butter and rolled the cookies in flaxseed meal before baking, and I omitted the cinnamon. Great for a sweet, healthy snack. Thanks for the recipe!

I thought these were good. The only problem I had was that they got moldy quickly. Maybe I made them too thick and undercooked them? Next time I'll try adding the PB.

These did not turn out well for me. I did use only 2 cups of oats and 1/2 cup spelt flour. Maybe that's why it was dense and floury. Dunno..
