Welcome to the Blog!
In recent times
I’ve been very concerned about the poor food practices in this country, and how
they affect my family and my own health.
I’m hearing all kinds of horrible things that are happening to people
mainly because of their poor diet. I want to avoid that for my family.
As a result of
this knowledge I am usually trying to improve the way we eat. Snacks can be difficult because what we
typically think of as a snack is something super sweet or salty. In my house we crave the sweets!
Here is a recipe I
came up with one day when my kids were in the mood for sweets, but I had other
plans. My sweet baby J smashed into some very ripe bananas I had on my counter
so I knew their treat would include those. It turned out great and the kids loved them,
even though I didn’t add any sugar or even maple syrup, well except for the
chocolate chips…. If you have a problem with chocolate, feel free to add a
little cinnamon instead for a healthy oatmeal raisin banana cookie.
Oatmeal
Raisin Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies
(Vegan, Gluten free, No oil, No added
sweeteners)
Ingredients:
3 Medium over-ripe
bananas
2 cups Oatmeal
80 Grams (about a 1/2
Cup) of raisins
59 grams of
semi-sweet vegan chocolate chips
1 flax egg (1Tbs
ground flax seed mixed with 3Tbs. of water and let sit for a few minutes)
Directions:
Preheat your oven
to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mash all your
bananas using a fork or hand mixer, then add the rest of your ingredients and
mix well.
Line your cookie
sheet with parchment paper.
Using a spoon,
scoop your dough onto the parchment paper. These cookies will not flatten out,
so if you like your cookies flat then place them that way.
Mmm! These are so good. I was about to buy a package of cookies today, instead I made these and I'm so glad I did. These are way better. And much healthier too of course. :)
