Tessamami,

I'll post back later to let you know the verdict.
Cheers!!

tessamami- sorry, my DD HATES banana in any form. no way, no how will she eat something that contains even a nano-ism of banana (nano-nana?)

I'll copy the recipe and save it for DS!!

? for tessamami and Cathe

tessamami - Your cookies sound delicious and I will definately try them next week. Did you mean sesame seeds or sunflower seeds? Do you think that either one would work? They both sound yummy. Also, if using sunflower seeds do you use the raw kind or the roasted, salted kind?

Cathe - I can't eat peanut butter because I have a slight allergy to it, so could I substitute almond butter or some other kind of nut or seed butter for the peanut butter in your cookie recipe?

This thread is making me so hungry! LOL!

Tessamami,
I tried your banana cookies and I really like them!
However, no luck with dd and this is not the first time she rejected baked banana. Also, she didn't like the sunflower seeds, maybe I shd sub with choc chips, and then I'm quite sure she'll eat them!
Thanks for the recipe!

Just came across my favorite recipe for
Oatmeal Choc. Chip Cookies

1/4c canola oil, 1/2c sugar, 1egg or egg substitute,1/2c applesauce, 1 1/2c rolled oats, 1c flour, 1/2t baking soda, 1/2t baking powder, 1t cinnamon, 1/2c choc. chips (dairy free if you like)

Spray cookie sheet w/ non-stick spray. eat oven to 350.
Combine wet ingredients in bowl, beat til combined. Combine dry ingredients in seperate bowl, mixing well. Stir together, add chips. Drop by tablespoonfuls on to sheet, bake 9-12 min.

Sometimes I add ground flax meal or wheat germ, no one will know!! They come out light and cakey, I have also adapted the recipe to make choc. choc chip. I have also added dried cherries, cranberries or dried apple chunks. DD loves them!!!!

Joyful - you can definitely substitute almond butter for the PB, in fact I usually do since almonds are such a good source of calcium and iron. You could also use tahini if you like the strong sesame taste.

Sunflower seeds, raw unsalted

Glad you liked them, Earth! DD and DH and I like them a lot.
