Prep time: 15 Mins
Cook time: 10 Mins
Yields: 15 Cookies
Treat your little one with these soft cranberry banana cookies made sugar free but has just the right amount of sweetness he or she would enjoy.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Dried Cranberries,finely chopped (optional)
- 1/2 cup mashed 2 Medium Size Ripen Bananas, Mashed
- 1/3 cup Butter/Margarine (I used peanut butter instead)
- 1/2 cup Apple Juice (unsweetened)
- 1 flax egg
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Rolled Oats (quick cooking)
- 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F/180C for 15 minutes. Grease baking sheets lightly with non stick cooking spray or shortening.
- In a blender whip together the flaxseed meal and water; until it’s frothy. Keep it aside.
- In a bowl stir together cranberries (if using) and flour, so that the cranberries don’t stick together and form lumps.
- To this add the mashed banana, peanut butter, apple juice, flaxseed mixture and vanilla; mix until smooth.
- Stir in rolled oats and baking soda; blend well.
- Drop by spoonfuls (approximately about 2 tablespoons per cookies); flatten with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes.
My Notes:
- I did not chop the dried cranberries but if you are baking these cookies for smaller kids be sure to finely chop it.
- Use just 1 banana if you decide to add 1/4 cup sugar as mentioned in the original recipe.
- I have replaced the 1 egg with flaxseed meal and water.
- Make sure that your child is not allergic to nuts if you decide to use nut butter instead of butter/margarine.
- I would suggest freezing these cookies because they turn bad pretty quickly if stored at room temperature.
- I didn’t get 30 cookies as mentioned in the recipe. This dough doesn’t spread, so you definitely need about 2 tablespoons per cookie and I got 15 cookies. Maybe the dough would have spread with the egg.
