Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a cookie sheet.

Step 2

Sift flour, brown sugar, sugar, instant oatmeal, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir in walnuts and raisins.

Step 3

Combine banana, cocoa, and almond milk in a food processor; process until pureed. Transfer to a bowl and mix in vegan margarine, orange juice, vanilla, and molasses until combined. Pour into the dry mixture and mix with a spatula to combine. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until browned but not hardened, about 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 2 to 4 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Serve warm.
