Peanut Butter And Banana Cookies
I made these with smooth peanut butter because that's what I happened to have. The taste is great, but I think the texture would be much better with crunchy peanut butter.
Ingredients
- 250 g Peanut butter
- 1 Banana
- 100 g Soft Brown Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 60 g Gluten Free Plain Flour
- 100 g Oats
- 1 teaspoon Bicarbonate of Soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Method
- Mash the banana in a large bowl.
- Use a smaller bowl to weigh/measure out the flour, oats, bicarb and salt. Mix them together and set aside.
- Use an electric hand whisk to beat the peanut butter, banana and sugar together in the larger bowl.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Mix in the flour mixture. It will make a very sticky dough.
- Line some baking trays - I fit 12 cookies per tray and cook them in batches.
- Use 2 teaspoons to portion the dough into balls - don't try and roll it in your hands because you'll end up in a very sticky mess! Use a wet fork to flatten the dough down onto the baking trays. Keep wetting the fork to prevent sticking to the dough.
- Bake for around 10 mins at 170°C
