This is another "borrowed" recipe. I just made a few swaps for taste and to make it completely vegan.
My next goal is to make a vegan pumpkin pie. I think I will use silken tofu to substitute the dairy. The challenge will be the crust. Any suggestions?
Vegan Oatmeal Cookies
2 small or 1 large very ripe banana
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
3/4 cup raisins
2 cups unsweetened applesauce
2 tsp. baking powder
2 Tbsp. water
2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups oatmeal
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine baking powder and water (to substitute eggs) and mix until dissolved. Add bananas, applesauce, sugar, and vanilla. In large bowl, mix together oatmeal, flours, baking soda, spices and raisins. Add combined fruit mixture to dry ingredients until just blended. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 25 minutes or until light golden brown.
The recipe is pretty accurate with the cookie count (it makes 40). My bananas weren't "very ripe" so I added some sugar. The original recipe doesn't have any. Even with the sugar these are not sweet cookies.
I like them though. They are perfect for breakfast with a little almond or cashew butter. They are very dense so they are great as a snack because you will definitely stay full. Enjoy!
