Funky Monkey Cookies



Delicious Delicious

These cookies are banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, but I wanted to name them something fun!

Ingredients:
2 mashed ripe bananas
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup soy milk
3/4 cub light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole wheat flour and 1 1/3 cup all purpose flour (or you can do 2 1/3 cups all purpose)
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon each all spice and nutmeg and salt
1 1/2 cups instant or rolled oats
1 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 and lightly spray 2 cookie sheets.
In a bowl combine banana, maple syrup, sot milk, vanilla, and brown sugar. You might want to use a hand mixer or stick blender to get the banana "smoosh" smooth and incorporated. Sift in all dry ingredients except oats. When a dough forms fold in chocolate chips and oats. Form into walnut sized balls and bake 10min. They will be soft and not look done but let them cool (slightly if you can't wait) and they will become chewy and delicious! Enjoy with ice cold non-dairy milk or coffee!
