No Fat Oatmeal Banana Cookies


No Fat Oatmeal Banana Cookies

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

3/4 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup organic sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground flax seed blended with 3 tablespoons water
1 cup mashed banana (about 2 bananas)
1 3/4 cup oatmeal (dry quick oats)
1/2 cup walnuts (optional)

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

2) Combine flour, baking soda, salt, allspice, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside. Blend together applesauce and sugars. Add flax seed (should be egg consistency). Stir well. Add mashed banana. Mix well.

3) Slowly pour some of dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir well after each addition. Once it is all added and combined well, add oatmeal. Stir well.

4) Drop by small spoonful onto greased cookie sheet. Flatten down some with the back of a wet spoon. If you wet it frequently, it will not stick to the cookie dough. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove to cooling rack immediately.
