Time 30m

Yield 40 cookies, 40 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup pecans
1/4 cup honey
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (do NOT omit-these give an important zip)
2 bananas
1/3 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3 cups oats (or your favorite breakfast cereal)
1/2 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Put pecans in food processor or blender,and mix until you have a mealy paste that's sticking to the sides of the bottom; turn off the machine and scrape it off the sides.
  • Add next seven ingredients and mix, making sure the bananas get completely pureed.
  • Add in the oats or cereal.
  • Pulse in the pine nuts and chocolate chips (or stir in by hand) so they don't get crushed.
  • Drop by tablespoons on greased cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until just starting to turn brown; cool for 5-10 minutes before removing from cookie sheet to avoid breakage.
