BANANA BROWNIE COOKIES

I was looking for a brownie recipe that used bananas and had lots of fiber. My 4-year-old is a chocoholic but needs some more fiber in her diet. Couldn't find anything so I experimented and discovered these cookies.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup oats
1 cup ground flax seeds
2 very ripe bananas, mashed
2 eggs
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup white sugar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Sift all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and cocoa powder together in a large bowl. Stir in oats and ground flax seeds.
Beat bananas, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until well-blended. Beat in sugar. Mix in flour mixture until dough is sticky.
Roll a teaspoonful of dough into a ball with your hands and place on a nonstick baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
Bake in the preheated oven until edges look dry but cookies are still soft, about 8 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets until set and easily handled, about 10 minutes.
