I occasionally check in over at Daily Garnish, and recently read the recipe for these Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Normally, vegan recipes require ingredients that aren't in my pantry (as we're not vegan), but I was eager to try these because I knew we would have all of the ingredients on hand. You see, even though I rarely purchase bananas, they always, always, end up getting too ripe before they are eaten. And this recipe calls for a ripe banana - apparently as an alternative to egg. (By the way, this recipe is a guest post by Madison, who also has ripe bananas on hand.)
Miss M and I mixed them up earlier today, and since we had plenty of bananas on hand (I'm not a fan of banana bread) I went ahead and doubled the recipe. Then, when it was time to add the mix-ins, we split the cookie dough into thirds and turned two batches of dough into three varieties of cookies. I let Miss M choose, and we ended up with walnut-chocolate chip, walnut-craisin, and craisin-chocolate chip.
They haven't been out of the oven long, and I think we've already eaten close to a half-dozen. While the banana flavor is noticeable, I think it might be less so once the cookies cool. I'll let you know. Either way, they are delicious.
Ours aren't completely vegan. I didn't use vegan chocolate chips. Also, since I washed it down with a glass of milk....
