Recipe Introduction
Yield: 4 dozen cookies
List of Ingredients
1/4 cup safflower oil
2/3 cup maple syrup
2 egg replacers
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 to 2/3 cup peanut butter, to taste
1 cup mashed, very ripe banana (about 1 large banana)
3/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt, preferably sea saltRecipe
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Cream together the oil and maple syrup. Beat in the egg replacers, vanilla, and peanut butter, then stir in the mashed banana. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt and stir into the liquid mixture. Blend well.
Drop onto oiled baking sheets by scant tablespoonfuls 1 inch apart and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on racks.
Variation: If you want a stiffer, heavier cookie, add 1/4 cup
whole-wheat flour or unbleached white flour to the recipe, and
delete 1 teaspoon baking powder. These cookies are very soft and cakelike.
