Banana Everything Cookies image

Here's a treat for the vegans in your life. Adapted from the cookbook "Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar," by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero, these cookies, which are chunky with chocolate chips, walnuts and rolled oats, are best when they are completely cooled, so their exteriors can crisp up. They do not taste strongly of banana - it's just a hint.

Time 12m

Yield About 2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking oil spray
1 very ripe medium banana
1/3 cup canola oil
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups quick-cooking (not instant) oatmeal or rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup chocolate chips (vegan, if desired)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray two baking sheets with oil. In a mixing bowl, mash banana well. Add oil, sugar and vanilla, and mix with a strong fork. Add flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, and mix until just moistened.
  • Add oatmeal, walnuts and chocolate chips. Using your hands or a sturdy spoon, mix well, making sure oats are well moistened. (If dough is very slippery, add one or two extra tablespoons flour.)
  • Using clean, wet hands, re-wetting as needed, roll dough into balls slightly smaller than a golf ball, about 1 1/3 inches in diameter. Flatten slightly and place 2 inches apart on a baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 2 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

These cookies were a bit dry, but they still had a good flavor. I think I would add a little bit more butter next time I make them.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time I make them.

These cookies are amazing! They're soft and chewy, with a delicious banana flavor. I love that they're made with whole wheat flour and oats, so they're a bit healthier than traditional cookies.
