Banana oatmeal raisin vegan cookies with sunflower seeds

Banana oatmeal raisin vegan cookies with sunflower seeds are a delightful and healthy treat that's perfect for any time of the day. These cookies combine the natural sweetness of bananas and raisins with the crunch of sunflower seeds, making them both nutritious and delicious. They're also vegan, using no animal products, which makes them suitable for a variety of dietary preferences.

Ingredients:

3 bananas
410g
1 tbsp vanilla extract
13g
1 cup multi-grain oatmeal
80g
1.75 oz raisins
50g
6 tbsp sunflower seeds
50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Mash the Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, peel and place the ripe bananas. Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the bananas until smooth. There should be no large chunks remaining.
3. Add Vanilla Extract: Pour in the tablespoon of vanilla extract into the mashed bananas. Stir well to combine evenly.
4. Mix in Dry Ingredients: Add the multi-grain oatmeal to the banana mixture and stir until the oats are fully incorporated.
5. Fold in Raisins and Seeds: Add the raisins and sunflower seeds to the mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to fold these ingredients in, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
6. Scoop the Dough: Use a spoon or a cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Place each portion about 2 inches apart. Lightly press down on each ball of dough to flatten slightly, shaping them into round cookies.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cookies are firm and golden brown around the edges.
8. Cool the Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, your Banana Oatmeal Raisin Vegan Cookies with Sunflower Seeds are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Tips:

- Ensure the bananas are ripe for added sweetness and easier mashing.

- For a different texture, lightly toast the sunflower seeds before adding them to the mixture.

- If you prefer your cookies to be a bit sweeter, feel free to add a tablespoon of maple syrup or your favorite sweetener.

- To enhance the flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.

- Use a cookie scoop to portion out the dough evenly, ensuring all cookies bake uniformly.

- For an extra touch, you can add other mix-ins like chopped nuts or dairy-free chocolate chips.

These banana oatmeal raisin vegan cookies with sunflower seeds are not only easy to make but also packed with nutrients. They offer a perfect balance of sweetness and crunch, making them a satisfying snack for both kids and adults. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven or store them for a quick bite on the go.
