This recipe is from my November 2008 issue of Health Magazine. It says that these cookies are a favorite of Susan Sarandon. They are from Bethenny Frankel who is a celebrity natural-foods chef and owner of the baked-goods company bethanybakes. Ingredients:
1 cup oat flour |
3/4 cup old fashioned oats |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/3 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup raw sugar |
1/3 cup canola oil |
1/3 cup soymilk, plain |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 banana, ripe, cut into small pieces |
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped (or another favorite nut) |
1/3 cup semisweet vegan chocolate chips (such as tropical source) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl. Whisk together oil, soy milk and vanilla in a separate bowl. Add wet mixture to dry ingredients; stir to combine. Fold in banana, walnuts and chocolate chips.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop dough onto pan with a small ice-cream scoop. Bake 25 minutes or until golden brown, turning baking sheet halfway through. Let cool on a wire rack.
4. NOTE: Use this cookie base (minus the last 3 ingredients) as a blank canvas for other flavor variations. So instead of bananas, walnuts and chocolate chips, try one of the following: raisins and a pinch of cinnamon, dried blueberries with raw sugar sprinkled on cookies, dried cranberries and 1/2 teaspoon orange extract or slivered almonds and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.
