This is my first blog post in over 2 months! I have been so busy with summer vacas, school courses, and working full time again! I had to push the blog aside for a while, but I was so excited about these cookies that I had to share! Baking is something I tend to struggle with.. it's never been my "thing". BUT these, I nailed it.. first attempt!! :)
Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies taste so good and are so good for you! I made Detoxinista's Buckwheat Banana Muffins the other day, which are super yummy, but my boyfriend thought they would also make a good base for a cookie recipe... so, I adapted her recipe and decided to experiment. These cookies are gluten free and vegan! Buckwheat is actually not even related to wheat, in fact, it's not even a grain!.. It's a seed. :)
1 cup buckwheat flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 Tbsp. coconut oil, softened or melted
3 ripe (spotted) bananas, mashed
2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup crushed walnuts
Directions:
-Preheat your oven to 350F.
-Mash the bananas and coconut oil together and then add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond milk, mix well.
-In a separate bowl mix together the dry ingredients (buckwheat, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt).
-Add the dry ingredients in with the wet and mix well.
-Quickly stir in the apple cider vinegar.
-fold in the dark chocolate chips and walnuts.
-Lightly grease cookie sheet with coconut oil and spoon heaping spoonfuls of batter on. It should make approx. 1 1/2 dozen cookies!
-Bake for 20-25 mins.
