Vegan Cookies

July 9, 2009

3 large, ripe bananas, pureed
1 tsp. vanilla extract
¼ cup warm coconut, olive or canola oil
2 cups rolled gluten free oats
2/3 cup almond meal
1/3 cup coconut, shredded and unsweetened
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. fine grain sea salt
1 tsp. baking powder
6 to 7 oz. chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and put the racks on the top third. Mix the bananas, coconut, olive or canola oil, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Combine all the dry ingredients, except the chocolate chips, in a separate bowl. Put together the contents of the two bowls, and stir until obtaining a homogeneous mixture. Add the chocolate chips to the dough. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and start dropping blobs of approximately 2 tsp. of dough, leaving 1 inch between them. These vegan bakery cookies need to be baked for 12 to 15 minutes.

Serves: 36 gluten free vegan cookies
