Healthy Cookies (with photo)

[farfallina]

Ingredients:
100g blanched almonds
30g dessicated coconut
220g oats
1 tsp baking powder
A pinch of salt
1 tsp cinnamon

400g banana, peeled, cut into 3-4 pieces each
40g olive oil
1 tsp vanilla extract

200g chocolate chips


Preparation:

    Grind almonds for 20 seconds on Speed 10. Transfer into a deep bowl.

    Add dessicated coconut, oats, baking powder, salt and cinnamon onto ground almonds. Mix all with a spoon.

    Put bananas, oil and vanilla extract in TM Bowl. Mix for 20 seconds on Speed 3-4.

    Add the mixture of dry ingredients in TM Bowl. Mix for 15-20 seconds on Reverse / Speed 4-5.
    Transfer into a deep bowl, add chocolate chips and mix with a spoon or spatula.
    Get small pieces of  the mixture. Place on the tray which is previously covered with baking paper. (I used my ice cream scoop, each cookie weighed around 35g. With this recipe you will get two batches of cookies)

    Bake in preheated oven at 180ºC. (Original recipe says cooking time is around 12-15 minutes but I baked them around 22-25 minutes. Adjust your baking time according to your oven which may differ from one to another. I baked them until the bottoms were well browned.)

PS: They are not crispy kind of cookies but have a softer texture.

Delightful Den - I made these and they were very good.  I think I will try making them again using chopped dates instead of choc chips.

Thanks farallina. These sound like my type of recipe!  I base most of my recipes around Quirky Jo's fermented rice recipes, or use a mixture of oats and chickpeas or tinned beans. This recipe sounds great and certainly one I can tweak to use a base.

These have been bookmarked to make next time I cook bikkies.

Let us know if/when you make them again with dates.

ElleG I hope you enjoy them too.
