Banana and Nut Cookies
Recipe Notes
These soft and succulent cookies have a consistency half way between cake and cookies. The banana gives each cookie a moist and fruity flavor. Soy/soya flour (available from health food shops) allows for a lot of healthy goodness to be hidden in each cookie.
Ingredients:
4 ripe bananas
2 cups soy/soya flour
½ cups wholemeal flour
2 eggs
3 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ cup cashew nuts
¼ cup raisins
Directions:
- Mash all 4 bananas in a small bowl using a fork, then transfer to a larger cooking bowl. If you want to have less washing up you can mash the bananas in the large bowl but you will find it a lot harder work.
- Slowly mix the soy and wholemeal flour into the bananas causing the mixture to thicken.
- Mix in the eggs and olive oil to form form a smooth paste.
- Add the cashew nuts and raisins and gently mix them in.
- Line two baking trays with baking parchment and lightly grease the surface with a little butter. Using two spoons transfer six large scoops of the mixture onto each baking tray. Cook for 15 minutes in an oven preheated to 380 F.
Yields 12 Servings.
