Banana Brownie Cookies

I was looking for a brownie recipe that used bananas and had lots of fiber. My 4-year-old is a chocoholic but needs some more fiber in her diet. Couldn't find anything so I experimented and discovered these cookies.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 very ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 cup oats
• 1 cup ground flax seeds

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Sift all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and cocoa powder together in a large bowl. Stir in oats and ground flax seeds.

Step 3

Beat bananas, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until well-blended. Beat in sugar. Mix in flour mixture until dough is sticky.

Step 4

Roll a teaspoonful of dough into a ball with your hands and place on a nonstick baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until edges look dry but cookies are still soft, about 8 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets until set and easily handled, about 10 minutes.
