Banana Oatmeal Chip Cookies
These Banana Oatmeal Chip cookies taste way too delicious to be good for you. Surprisingly, they are equally nutritious as they are delicious! Super star ingredients include: ground flaxseed meal, banana, soy milk, agave nectar, whole wheat flour, walnuts, and canola oil. Sounds like an all-star cast to me! Added bonus: these cookies are vegan!

- 1/4 cup soy milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup walnuts (optional)
Check out the chunks of chocolate chips and walnuts! Holy yum!

- Use a tablespoon to portion cookies on a greased baking sheet, approximately 1-2 inches apart.

Oh my gosh those look SO wonderful!
on Feb 10th, 2009 at 2:32 pm

on Feb 10th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
I do concur!!! HOLY YUM
on Feb 10th, 2009 at 2:41 pm

on Feb 10th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
Oh yum. Those look great!
on Feb 10th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
YUM! I have some ripe bananas that need using… maybe I’ll make them!
on Feb 10th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
These are fantastic! I just made them and they’re super moist. I changed some of the ingredients because I was too lazy to go to the grocery store, but used milk instead of soy, honey instead of agave nectar and butterskotch chips instead of chocolate chips (that’s all I had at home). They’re delicious! I made them huge and only ended up with 15 but they still won’t make it past this weekend.
on Feb 10th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
These are def. going on my must-make list!
on Feb 10th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Can you take out the canola oil entirely and flaxseed meal? I don’t have either and don’t intend to buy them.
on Feb 10th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
You have never let me down with a recipe tina, these look awesome!

I am going to make these soon- maybe tonight!
on Feb 10th, 2009 at 4:54 pm
These sound so good! And after trying your chocolate pumpkin loaf I doubt I can be dissapointed with anything you create =)
on Feb 10th, 2009 at 5:21 pm
Haha I’m making vegan banana chocolate chip oatmeal cookies tomorrow for a bake-off at my school! It’s a different recipe though
on Feb 10th, 2009 at 5:26 pm
Yum! They look so good!!
on Feb 10th, 2009 at 5:35 pm
Totally reading my mind! I’ve been planning out and searching for an oatmeal cookie to make tonight! Mine will probably be more standard though since I need to use up what I have in the house. Ahh the life of a poor college student
on Feb 10th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
These look great. Wow. Just make sure that the chocolate chips you buy are vegan-check the label. Or if you don’t care then woohoo. making these later.

Great recipe!! Can’t wait to try it.
I just saw that you got your package from me!! I’m so glad you like everything, and also you don’t have to eat that cookie for breakfast if you don’t want. I usually eat it(or 1/2)as a dessert!!
on Feb 10th, 2009 at 6:13 pm
Yum. These cookies combine 3 of my all-time favorite things. I need to make some cookies….

Those cookies look super yummy! Next time I get some salvaged bananas (I don’t buy them but I’ll take them from friends and family who are going to throw them out!) I am so making these.
I was just reading Slashfood and saw these cookies I thought you might like! They sound a little weird, but intriguing – sweet potato and cheddar cookies! Butternut squash as a substitue, perhaps?

on Feb 10th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
You’re always so creative in the kitchen!
I can’t wait to try that chocolate pumpkin loaf that I’ll be getting soon! Yay!
on Feb 10th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
These are similar to biscuits (”cookies” if you have to be all American about it
) that I make almost every week and also highly recommend. 
You just mix together 1 cup wholemeal flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 2 crushed Weetbix biscuits, about 10 to 12 quartered prunes/dried plums, 2 tsp ground cinnamon and 2 tsp baking powder. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add 1 lightly beaten egg, 2 T maple syrup and enough applesauce to bind the mixture so that it can be formed into cookie shapes. Bake at 200 degrees celcius for about fifteen minutes or until set and golden. Yum!
on Feb 10th, 2009 at 10:49 pm

on Feb 11th, 2009 at 10:29 am
Holy yum inDEED! Hard to believe they’re actually nutritious, but after looking at the ingredients, they definitely have great stuff in there!
on Feb 11th, 2009 at 11:56 am
Can you tell me the difference between ground flax seed and ground flax seed meal? Could the former be substitued for the latter?
on Feb 11th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
These look SO good. I love when you bake, I think that’s your biggest cooking talent! Would you guess these are about 50 calories a piece?

I’ve tried a few other butter-free cookie recipes, including a couple from Mark Bittman, and I’ve always been disappointed. Tried these and they were great! I used honey instead of agave nectar and milk instead of soy milk. Will definitely make again. Thanks.
on Sep 14th, 2009 at 7:26 pm
Just made these tonight and they are GREAT! Did not add oil just added 1 tablespoon of unsweetened applesauce and they came out great! Thanks.

I made these last night, minus the chocolate chips and added raisins and walnuts. SO GOOD! thank you!
on Oct 21st, 2009 at 9:27 am
Awesome cookies! I keep making them over and over, so easy and fast! Last night I added cranberry & almonds to the chocolate chips… So great that I ate that instead of dinner :S (once in a while… why not!)
on Nov 18th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
Do you think it would work to substitute honey for the agave nectar? I want to make these cookies tonight but don’t have any agave on hand. They look delish!
on Dec 8th, 2009 at 1:50 pm
I ended up making the cookies and substituting 1/4 c honey and 1 tbsp brown sugar for the agave- they were amazing! I loved the cookies so much I posted a link on my blog- thanks for the wonderful recipe!

Is there nutritional information available for this recipe?
on Jan 19th, 2010 at 11:23 am
Cookies sound good – but how many calories, fat content, carbs, etc. do they contain?
on Jan 19th, 2010 at 10:08 pm
They do sound yummy but i would like to k now what the calories and fat content are also…
please
on Jan 20th, 2010 at 1:58 pm
This recipe is awesome. I cut back the agave syrup to half of what the recipe called for as the chocolate chips and banana gives enough sweetness. These cookies do not taste like they are good for you and only have about 75 calories per cookie!
on Jan 24th, 2010 at 5:45 pm
These are delicious, a total hit! I cut back the syrup and milk a bit.. thinking about adding carrots to the next batch P: Thanks for this recipe!
