I know this is not a food blog. But these are too good not
to share. These cookies deserve to be on this blog due to the fact they were
invented by me while in Peru. I am not one to be over healthy I like cookies too
much and can’t refuse a slice of birthday cake or two.
The Tia I lived with while in Peru has cancer. She had
decided to not do treatment but do the healthy alternative. She only ate all
natural food. On top of that she could not eat any dairy. Loving food so much
it made me sad when she would make her grandson cookies but couldn’t eat any.
So since I knew there were vegan cookies out there I thought I would take my
chances. I told her I was going to find her a cookie she could eat.
This is where my search began. Problems with vegan cookies
they use baking powder, lactose free milk, vanilla extract. These items she cannot
eat or they are not found in the area I was living in. So I took the items out
added tofu well because she had it and it couldn’t hurt. Then some homemade
honey she is allowed to eat and the rest is history. So this is my take on
healthy oatmeal cookies.
Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas
1 peeled and then graded red apple
2 cups oats
2 spoon full of tofu (not needed but is good for you)
2 spoon full of honey (if you have stevia you could use 1
spoonful of this instead)
If you want to add nuts or chocolate chips maybe even a
berry or all three you can do so. The second batch we made I added 1 cup
smashed walnuts.
These either are baked or eaten with a spoon. Just mix until
it is creamy. They were the best oatmeal cookies I have had. So soft due to the
banana and so healthy it is okay if you eat the whole batch, which we did.
