BANANA EVERYTHING COOKIES



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.

Time 25m

Yield 20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 banana (very ripe medium)
1/3 cup canola oil (rapeseed oil)
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup all-purpose flour (plain flour)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal (rolled oats)
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • preheat oven to 350 degrees, lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
  • In a mixing bowl mash the banana well. You can use a fork for this but your hands work well too. Add the oil sugar and vanilla, mix with a strong fork. Add the flour, baking soda and cinnmon and mix until the dry ingredients are just moistened. Add the oatmeal walnuts and chocolate chips and mix well. Isa recommends using your hands for mixing in the oatmeal to ensure that the oats get moist. If the dough is quite slippery you may wish to add a few tablespoons of extra flour. This just depends on how big your banana is.
  • Clean your hands and roll the dough into balls slightly smaller than a golf ball, flatten it a bit in your hands and place each ball about 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned. Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 2 mins then transfer them to a cooling rack.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make your cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop will help you get evenly sized cookies. If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use a tablespoon.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them rise and set quickly. This will prevent them from becoming dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely: Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Banana everything cookies are an easy and delicious treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of cookies that are soft, chewy, and full of banana flavor. Whether you're looking for a quick snack or a sweet dessert, banana everything cookies are sure to hit the spot. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try!
