Everybody loves healthy cookies, right?
Well, today I have an excellent recipe for you for...
Banana Oatmeal Cookies
6 very ripe bananas, mashed
1 tsp heaping baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1 medium egg
2 cups oatmeal
1 cup whole wheat flour (or spelt)
1/3 cup white grape juice concentrate
1/3 cup favorite oil
1/2 cup grated carrot
3/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, sunflower seeds, filberts, almonds)
Combine all wet ingredients, stir well.
Sift together all dry ingredients except nuts, and then add to wet ingredients, again stirring well.
Add chopped nuts last and stir to mix in. Let sit for about fifteen minutes. Then drop by tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375F degrees for 12 minutes.
You can freeze these soft, cake-like cookies or you can store them in a tight container in the refrigerator. Either way, they're so good, they'll go in a hurry!

Grape juice concentrate doesn^t exist in Europe. Can I replace it by apple sauce with stevia?
ReplyDeleteOr honey maybe?
Hi Chet, Excellent article on sugar; I heard someone say the structure of sugar, chemically speaking, is only one chemical short of the structure of cocaine. That if true accounts for the horrible headaches that occur in an individual trying to cut it out. Have done it once or twice and felt so much better; maybe this next try will work. Thanks for caring to share the info.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that recipe, Chet! A very timely one, too...I am fed up with using up those elderly bananas in yet another banana bread and have been searching my recipe books for something different.
ReplyDeleteChet. Maybe not many people comment on your blogs because it isn't readily apparent how to do so.
ReplyDeleteI need recipes for all classifications of foods that don't use sugar, wheat or dairy for my 10 year old grandson.
Thanks, Ellen
Here is a comment since you were asking for some:
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work!
Did the no sugar thing several years ago and lost weight...but...backslide because of my addiction to desert. Also had a lifesyle change that made it difficult to prepare my own meals.
I really enjoy your blog, lots of helpful information. I forwarded it to my sister who is on a semi-vegan eating plan now. You're really doing a great service.
ReplyDeleteTexmex, applesauce, stevia, or honey would be good replacements. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, using less-than-very ripe bananas would be fine.
