What do you need?
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/3 cup sunflower oil
- 2/3 cup unrefined sugar (or 1/3 cup agave syrup)
- 3/4 cup plain flour
- 2 cups rolled oats 1 cup mixed nuts and dried fruits
- 1/4 cup mixed seeds
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Optional: 1 tsp vanilla
- Cinnamon and nutmeg
Step by step
In a mixing bowl, mash the banana well with a fork and add the oil and sugar and mix well.
Add the flour, baking soda, salt and any vegan powdered spice/flavour you like (can be vanilla for instance) Mix these ingredients well, until the mixture is quite moist.
Now it’s time to add the oats, any nuts and seeds you have chosen. Mix really well to make sure it is all well distributed and stuck together
Make small balls with the dough and place on an oiled baking tray. Flatten the balls with the palm of your hand, making sure there is a reasonable gap between each disc shape.
Bake for 10-15 minutes (depending on how browned you like your cookies) in a preheated oven (200 Degrees Celsius). Leave to cool on the baking trays once finished in the oven and once they are slightly hardened, twist and lift to remove them from the tray and place on a cooling tray for a further 10 minutes.

Need Help?
If your dough mixture is too greasy, add a few more teaspoons of flour. If your dough mixture is too dry and not sticking, add a little more oil until the mixture holds better.
If the recipe you cook is either a "lunch" or "dinner" recipe, you will be able to complete the "vegan-meal" activity as well. That'll do a well deserved hattrick!
