Grandma Wyse's Vegan Cookies

While I am not gluten sensitive, I find this chewy morsel delightful. They have no flour and you can add whatever you love in cookies without changing the texture of the cookie. If you love nuts, dairy free chocolate chips, toasted coconut, sunflower seeds, or whatever ... all them! You may have to adjust the baking time, but in the end you will have created a family favorite! This recipe makes 16 cookies, if you opt to bypass the optional ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups quick oats
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/2 cup peanut butter

OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS

• 1 tbsp maple syrup (or Stevia packets, to taste)
• 1/2 tsp sea salt 
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mash the bananas in in a bowl with a fork until they form a paste.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
4. Drop spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet, shaping each spoonful into a cookie shape.
5. Bake for 15 minutes. They should be firm and slightly browned when done.
