Yield 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 tablespoons canola oil
2 cups walnuts
1 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups oat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups semisweet vegan chocolate chips (I use only 3/4 cup chocolate chips, to cut calories)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray, or line with parchment paper.
2. Blend walnuts in food processor 30 seconds, or until ground into a fine meal. Add canola oil, and blend 2 to 3 minutes more, or until mixture has the consistency of natural peanut butter, scraping down sides of food processor occasionally. Transfer to bowl.
3. Whisk together brown sugar and ½ cup water in small saucepan, and bring mixture to a boil. Pour brown sugar mixture over ground walnut butter, add vanilla extract, and stir until no lumps remain.
4. Whisk together oat flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in separate bowl. Stir oat flour mixture into walnut mixture. Cool 10 minutes. Fold in oats, then chocolate chips.
5. Shape cookie dough into 2-inch balls, and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Flatten cookies with bottom of drinking glass dipped in water. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until cookies begin to brown and tops look dry. Cool 3 minutes on baking sheets, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

Time 19m

Yield 24-36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 tablespoons flax seeds (use ground flaxseed and mix with water as an egg substitute)
6 tablespoons water
1/2 cup applesauce (Homemade is the best)
1/3 cup honey
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup white flour

Steps:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
For Egg Substitute whisk ground flax seed and water in it's own bowl.
Mix Apple Sauce, Honey, Vanilla, lastly add in the egg replacers.
In another bowl mix baking soda and flours.
Add flour to the Apple sauce bowl and slowly blend together.
Drop by spoonfuls onto un-greased cookie sheet.
Bake for 9 minute.

Tips:

Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be. You can also use frozen bananas, just thaw them before using.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly brown around the edges and just set in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying: The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. If you eat them while they are still warm, they will be more likely to fall apart.

Conclusion:

These vegan and heart-healthy cookies are a delicious and nutritious treat that you can enjoy without guilt. They are made with wholesome ingredients like oats, almond butter, and maple syrup, and they are naturally sweetened with ripe bananas. These cookies are also a good source of fiber and protein, making them a great snack or breakfast option.
