Ahh-may-zing Nutty Oatmel Cookies


These are absolutely delicious! My family downed three or four of them apiece in just a couple of minutes. I warn you: they are very addictive!

Nutty Oatmeal Cookies

1/2 cup unbleached white flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup Earth Balance
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 medium/large banana, well mashed
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Stir the flours, oats, sugar, baking powder, and spices together in a large bowl. Gradually add the margarine (you can soften this a bit to make it easier to stir), peanut butter, banana, vanilla, raisins and chocolate chips. Mix well.

Line a cookie sheet with wax paper (or spray with cooking spray), and spoon out rounded spoonfuls of the dough. Press down on them with your fingers to flatten slightly.

Bake for 10-12 minutes and let cool before moving them to a cooling rack. Makes anywhere from 12 to 20 cookies, depending on how big you like them.

(I did get a picture of these, but it was terrible and promptly after taking the first shot, I knocked the cookies into the sink and a big bowl of water. Sad day. But, the good news is the ones pictured above look very similar...)
