‘Bake the world a better place’
More easy and wholesome cookies for the holidays. This one is an oat-based cookie and so a good grab and go for breakfast. It is also nut free. It holds its shape and texture when cool and lasts a while, if in the fridge. It’s a great way of using up ripe bananas as the banana is the only sweetener. On the chocolate chip, I like to use a bitter vegan carob for extra antioxidants, but feel free to use semi-sweet chocolate chips if your heart so desires. The heart wants what the heart wants, so they say.
