Time 35m

Yield 16 cookies, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

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)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
