Preparation Time:

Servings:

Cooking Time: 
Ingredients: 

2 medium sized bananas
1/4 cup agave nectar
1/2 cup molasses
1 tablespoon corn starch
1/2 cup applesauce
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cloves
generous handful raisins
generous handful walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, prunes, and/or almonds, chopped (your choice)
3 cups quick oats
nonstick spray

Directions: 

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix thoroughly bananas, molasses, agave, corn starch, applesauce, water, and vanilla. Stir in remaining ingredients, leaving the oats and seeds/nuts until the end.
2. Lightly spray cookie sheet with nonstick vegetable spray. Dough will be heavy and grainy, more of a dough than a batter. Form dough into 16 balls, and flatten and shape into large, round cookies.
3. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until bottoms are lightly browned and cookie holds together. Cool, and enjoy!
Source of recipe: The basis for this recipe came from an oatmeal cookie recipe in the Betty Crocker cookbook. I veganized it, and added a bunch of nutrition that I had on hand (substituting the flours, eggs, and butters, and adding the seeds and nuts). What turned out was a yummy, chewy, cereal bar type cookie. The dough can also be pressed into a shallow cookie pan, baked, and cut into cereal bars.
