these taste better than they look! i promise! every friday at work is "treat day." it is a tradition i continued when taking place of the previous employee. the first week i made chocolate chip cookies, as basic as they come. however, my boss mentioned maybe trying to bake something with at least a little nutritional value, and all i heard was challenge! i love experimenting, so i thought i'd go all out. a friend of the family said these were like "banana bread cookies" (and i think that sounds awesome).
1 and 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup quick oats (not instant)
a heaping 1/4 cup ground flax seeds (you can buy it already ground as "flax seed meal"
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
about 1 cup of applesauce or pumpkin
2 tbsp butter
2 tsp vanilla (i always just pour and never measure)
2 eggs
1 banana, mashed up
3/4 cup loosely packed brown sugar (or less if you don't mind them being not very sweet... or substitute honey and just add a little more flour)
half a bag of chocolate chips
combine the dry ingredients, do the wet stuff in a separate bowl. add the dry to the wet and mix for a minute or so. grease cookie sheets and put heaping spoonfuls a couple inches apart. bake at 350 for about 10 minutes.
