Ingredients
1 cup margarine, cold
1 1/2 cups tightly packed brown sugar
1 cup table sugar

If the banana peel isn't spotted black

3, 4, or 5 teaspoons vanilla (be generous)
2 tablespoons water or soy/almond/rice drink

inch long rope
Cut rope in half; roll each half out again to 8 inches

Oatmeal Chocolate-Chip Cookies
Ingredients
1 cup margarine, cold
1 1/2 cups tightly packed brown sugar
1 cup table sugar
1 ripe, mashed banana
If the banana peel isn't spotted black
Cover the mashed banana with the juice of half a lemon for about 15 minutes before incorporating it into the mix
3, 4, or 5 teaspoons vanilla (be generous)
2 tablespoons water or soy/almond/rice drink
2 cups all-purpose or whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder stirred into the flour for guaranteed dispersion
2 1/2 cups rolled oats (quick oats work well)
2 1/2 cups vegan chocolate chips
Method
Beat together the margarine and sugars
Electric mixers are unnecessary
Add the well-mashed banana and mix well
Then add the vanilla, then the water
The water will try to separate
Keep mixing with a figure-eight motion and add the dry ingredients, in the order above, bit by bit (say, by half-cup increments)
The final batter should be almost too dry to hold the chocolate chips
If it isn't, you should add more or less, according to the problem
Dry batter is good.
Since any chips that fall off the batter can go directly into your mouth
If the batter is too wet, the cookies will flatten while baking and turn out hard and flat
Bake them for 10 or 12 minutes in a pre-heated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit on an ungreased cookie sheet
Cook them longer if you prefer a hard cookie
But be aware that bananas only approximate the action of an egg in the mix
You could get cookies as hard as the cookie sheet if you aren't careful

Try blending a ripe banana with pears, apricots and berries
When fresh fruit is non-abundant, you can use nonsweetened apple sauce

1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 teaspon baking powder
1 3/4 cups flour
1 1/2 cups salted almonds
With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat egg whites and sugar with orange peel and baking powder until blended
Gradually add nuts and flour, beating until mixture is thoroughly mixed
Cover and chill until firm enough to handle, at least 1 hour or up to 1 day
Lightly flour your hands and pinch off a 3 tb size piece of dough
On a lightly floured board, use the palms of both hands to evenly roll an 8 inch long rope
Cut rope in half; roll each half out again to 8 inches
Fold 1 inch of each end back onto rope; pinch ends to make bone-end shapes
Repeat to shape all the dough
Place bones 1 inch apart on buttered and flour-dusted 12 x 15 inch baking sheets
Bake in a 325F oven until cookies are lightly browned on bottoms, about 20 minutes
Oatmeal Chocolate-Chip Cookies
Ingredients
1 cup margarine, cold
1 1/2 cups tightly packed brown sugar
1 cup table sugar
1 ripe, mashed banana
If the banana peel isn't spotted black
Cover the mashed banana with the juice of half a lemon for about 15 minutes before incorporating it into the mix
3, 4, or 5 teaspoons vanilla (be generous)
2 tablespoons water or soy/almond/rice drink
2 cups all-purpose or whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder stirred into the flour for guaranteed dispersion
2 1/2 cups rolled oats (quick oats work well)
2 1/2 cups vegan chocolate chips
Method
Beat together the margarine and sugars
Electric mixers are unnecessary
Add the well-mashed banana and mix well
Then add the vanilla, then the water
The water will try to separate
Keep mixing with a figure-eight motion and add the dry ingredients, in the order above, bit by bit (say, by half-cup increments)
The final batter should be almost too dry to hold the chocolate chips
If it isn't, you should add more or less, according to the problem
Dry batter is good.
Since any chips that fall off the batter can go directly into your mouth
If the batter is too wet, the cookies will flatten while baking and turn out hard and flat
Bake them for 10 or 12 minutes in a pre-heated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit on an ungreased cookie sheet
Cook them longer if you prefer a hard cookie
But be aware that bananas only approximate the action of an egg in the mix
You could get cookies as hard as the cookie sheet if you aren't careful
Let them congeal on the sheet for a moment after removing them from the oven
Then cool on a plate or a wire rack
Store in an air-tight container
They taste even better after they sit overnight or in the fridge
Peach Crisp
4 or 5 fresh peaches
1 cup Grape Nuts
1 tsp. butter
1/4 cup apple juice concentrate
1 tsp. cinnamon
Peel, core and dice peaches
Place in a greased pie plate
Stir in Grape Nuts and cinnamon
Top with dabs of butter
Bake 350 for 25 minutes
Serve warm, plain, with milk or with peach yogurt on top
Makes 10-12 small servings
Fruit Leather
Peel and core 5 cups fresh frui.
Blend it in a blender
Then heat it in a sauce pan (add spices if you wish such as cinnamon, etc)
Blend a second time
Pour fruit puree onto a cookie sheet that has been spread with saran wrap
Spread the puree the best way you can
A plastic egg turner works great
Bake it in the oven at 150 for 8 hours
Apples, plums are sweet enough as they are
Try blending a ripe banana with pears, apricots and berries
When fresh fruit is non-abundant, you can use nonsweetened apple sauce
Heat it in a pan, and add some cinnamon
Then blend it in a blender and spread it on a cookie sheet which has been covered with saran wrap
For a crunchy treat, sprinkle 1 cup Grape Nuts over your fruit puree before you bake it
Results in a crunchy fruit leather that kids like
