Soft banana cookies

Easy to make but delicious, the soft banana cookies with 5 cereals are here to prove that having many ingredients isn’t necessary to make something nutritious—and also to prove that sugar or other sweeteners aren’t necessary to make something sweet! As you can see, this recipe is vegan, egg-free, dairy-free, butter free, and, as we said, sugar-free. What it does have is the new “Farin up” self-rising flour with 5 cereals by Miloi Agiou Georgiou, which makes it even more nutritious, while the combination of banana-cinnamon-walnuts could rename this recipe to banana bread cookies. The little hands keep asking for one more, and one more, and that’s how the jar was quickly emptied!  

What we are going to need 

• Bananas. The riper they are, the better. 
• “Farin up” flour with 5 cereals, by Miloi Agiou Georgiou. The 5-cereal flour is a new product you’ll find on grocery store shelves. It’s whole wheat, and combines 5 different cereals: soft wheat, spelt wheat, emmer wheat, oats, and buckwheat. I don’t even need to mention that it’s much more nutritious than normal self-rising flour, and it also has a unique flavour. Thanks to its 5 cereals, it’s a plant fibre source for our organism, and it’s rich in protein. 
• Coconut oil. Alternatively, you can use butter. In both cases, you’ll need it melted for the recipe.
• Walnuts. They have to be processed into a powder in a food processor. Alternatively, you can use other nuts. 
• Cinnamon. 
• Optionally, cacao nibs. You can add the cacao nibs either inside the dough or sprinkle them on top to decorate your soft banana cookies. 

Tips

• The banana cookies can be made crunchier if you use smaller dough pieces and bake them for a few more minutes. 
• Temperatures differ from oven to oven, so check often. 
• If any remain—because, in our home, they tend to vanish the same day they’re made—store them in an airtight jar for 3–4 days at room temperature.  
• You can store the dough in the freezer for up to 3 months. I don’t recommend freezing the cooked banana cookies, though. 

How the little hands can help 

• Older children can weigh the ingredients while younger children can be given the ingredients already weighed to add them to the mix. 
• The little hands will love mixing the ingredients. 
• They’ll also love forming the dough balls, pressing them with something to give them a round shape, and choosing the cutter that they’ll use to decorate them.
