I came up with this recipe the other day, and I've only made it once but it turned out good. It's for Banana Chocolate Chip Oatmeal cookies. I was jonesin' for oatmeal cookies, but also banana bread so I decided to combine them. There's nothing exceptional about the ingredients or proportions, but they're quite tastey. Banana Oatmeal Choc. Chip Cookies 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt Sift all dry ingredients together ginger allspice cinnamon nutmeg cayenne chipotle These are all dry and ground. I didn't really measure any of them so it's really to taste, but for the most part it was about 2 pinches of each except for the cinnamon which was more like 2 to 3 tsp. These can all be sifted with the other dry ingredients. 1/4 cup butter (1 stick) 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup turbinado sugar (raw sugar) 1 egg 1/8 cup maple syrup 1/8 cup honey 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 overripe bananas (like for banana bread) 3/4 cup choc. chips Combine all the wet ingredients in a standard creaming method then add the banana at the end. Mix the wet into the dry and then fold in the choc. chips. Bake on a parchment lined sheet pan @ 350 degrees for about 10 to 14 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies. I'm sure you could add raisins without much difficulty.
