Yes, I know, I really need to post something besides cookie recipes. But, until I do that, here is another one. They have some decently healthy ingredients, even.

Cran-Choco-Coco-Butter Cookies

Ingredients
2/3 cup natural peanut butter
1 1/2 cup raw sugar
1/3 cup soymilk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup vegan protein powder
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 tsp. baking soda
2 cups quick oats
1 cup vegan chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup coconut shreds

Mix wet ingredients and sugar – 1-5. Mix dry ingredients – 6-9. Combine and fold in extras – 10-13.

Bake at 350* for 15 minutes. Check. When tops begin to crack and edges of bottom are slightly brown, remove from open and allow to cool on cookie sheet.

This was a quick dinner with the canned beans and tomatoes. You can certainly make it more luxe with some homemade beans and freshly diced tomatoes and hot peppers!

Ingredients
1 diced and sautéed onion
1 can black beans
2 cups cooked quinoa
1 can Rotel tomatoes with chile peppers
Salt and pepper to taste
10 cubanelle peppers

Process
Remove ends from peppers and seed. Mix sautéed onion, black beans, quinoa, rotel, salt and pepper. Stuff cubanelles with quinoa and bean mix. Bake at 350* for 30-45 minutes.

Makes 5 servings.

Vegan Apple Breakfast Cookies

Need a cookie for breakfast? Sometimes I do. These are delicious and have very little in them to feel guilty about.

Ingredients

2 mashed bananas
2 cups smooth peanut butter
½ cup agave
1 cup raisins
3 cups chopped apples
2 cups oats
1 ½ cups wheat flour
1 ½ t. baking soda
1 T. cinnamon
½ t. salt

Process

Mix first 3 ingredients until smooth. Combine all dry ingredients and then add in the wet mixture. Stir to thoroughly combine. Add additional flour if needed to reduce stickiness until dough can be dropped onto baking sheet in large balls and flattened to about ½ inch in thickness.

Bake 10-15 minutes at 350* until lightly browned on the bottom. Allow to cool and set. If keeping overnight, it might be good to chill these, as they are a fairly “wet” cookie.

Makes 24 large cookies.
