    When life hands you a ripe banana make a cookie.. or a muffin:) or both! When dad finally decides to take a vacation, book his tickets!

     

     
    These cookies are muffin top cookies, not too crisp, but soft and chewy and wonderful! and will not give you a muffin top! I am loving these simple cookies.. and the cookie dough… thats the fun part about vegan cookie dough, you can just make balls out of the raw dough and have those too!
    Squeeee, I have so many things to do before mom and dad’s visit… clean up house, schedule some posts before hand.. make goodies that I want them to try, and then some goodies I want mom to make!:)

      Another amazing recipe I’ve made several times! Love the use of ground quinoa. I’ve used chia in place of the flax a couple times with good results too.

      Can I use coconut flour? Also, can I substitute applesauce for the oil?

        you can use a combination of oat, almond and coconut flours. sure you can use apple sauce or more mashed banana.

      Just made these (actually munchin on one now!) and they are so great. As a snack with coffee, a power snack, or a treat. I have a tendency to muddle with recipes and so added walnuts and an extra banana, more quinoa and cinnamon. Still turned out 🙂 Thanks!
