the flourless, sugarless, eggless, butterless cookies
i've meant to post these last week when i made them, but didn't have time. the two dozen i made were gone in just a couple of days! so they must have been good :)
here is what you need:
2 cups rolled oats
3 large ripe bananas
2/3 cup almond or hazelnut meal ( i used hazelnut this time); alternatively if you have neither you can use whole wheat flour, but then they won't be flourless :)
1 ts pure vanilla extract
1/3 coconut oil, warmed until liquid
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup raw shelled pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1 ts baking powder
1/2 ts sea salt
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (you can adjust the amount depending on your preferred sweetness, i omitted entirely and the cookies were still sweet enough, because of the ripe bananas)
how to make them:
preheat oven to 350F. place racks in the top part of the oven.
in a large bowl mash the bananas with a fork and combine with the vanilla, honey/maple syrup and coconut oil. in another bowl mix the oats with the almond/hazelnut meal/flour, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, salt and baking powder. combine the wet and the dry ingredients and mix well. drop spoonfuls of the dough on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. bake about 15 mins. enjoy with your tea or latte; for me they're perfect in the morning. i guess they're also perfect for vegans :)
