I have a great recipe for ‘Oats & Banana Cookies’. They can be made with No Egg, No Flour, No Dairy. The binding ingredient is Ripe Banana, so they taste Banana. The other day, I wanted to make Cocoa flavoured Oats Cookies, but I didn’t have Banana. So I made a new recipe. You need an Egg and a little bit of Flour for the new recipe. These cookies are bitter and not very sweet. You may wish to add extra Sugar, but I added some Dark Chocolate Chips, that made the cookies absolutely sweet enough for me.
