These cookies are from a vegan cookbook and are a staple dessert/pot luck contribution at our house. This has lead one friend to call them by our address, 2540 cookies. They are better for you than regular chocolate chip cookies and can actually claim one local ingredient by using NC maple syrup. Here's a somewhat decent picture:
3/4 c flour
1/2 c sugar
2 c rolled oats
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 banana
1/3 c olive oil
1/2 c maple syrup
1 T vanilla
1 1/2 c chocolate chips
In a large bowl, stir together dry ingredients (not choc. chips). In a food processor, blend banana, oil, maple syrup and vanilla. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir. Add the chocolate chips and stir until well incorporated. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (I promise, it will make this much easier.) Spoon a heaping tablespoon of dough onto the paper and press together lightly. Bake for 12-15 min on 350 degrees or until browned. Makes 10-15 cookies, depending on size.
Fast, easy, delicious, and not altogether unhealthy. It could take variations of dried fruit and nuts to make them more like an energy bar. (from The Garden of Vegan)
