Recipes With a Twist
Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies (Eggless)
Banana Oatmeal Cookies
them are loaded with sugar, refined flour and fats. As I stumbled upon this
recipe, I remembered him and thought of giving it a try.
I am not sure if I should categorize these as cookies or not. Contrary to most
cookies recipes, these do not contain any added sugar, flour, eggs or even
butter or oil. The only most indulgent ingredient I added is ‘white chocolate
chips’. Although the powerhouse Banana – Oatmeal – Raisin combination make
perfect breakfast, I know I will not feel guilty if I had one for dessert!
You need:
3 ripe bananas (mine were sort of overripe)
2 cups fast cooking Oatmeal (I used Quaker’s 1 minute oats)
1 tsp Vanilla
1/4 cup Raisins
1/4 cup Craisins (Cranberry Raisins)
1/3 cup Shredded coconut (I used sweetened)
1/3 cup White Chocolate Chips / or chopped Walnuts
1. Preheat oven to 350 F
2. Mash the bananas with a fork and add Vanilla

3. Add oats and rest of the ingredients
Banana Oatmeal Cookies-shape
5. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
Mine came out soft and perfectly sweet. Bake a little longer if you prefer
slightly crunchy. Enjoy warm cookies with a cup of coffee!
I will make them again next week for my father-in-law. This time I plan to
replace the chocolate chips with chopped walnuts – make them more healthier!

Here is an easy to put together lunch-ready in less than 5 minutes and can be prepared ahead and packed to go. It is a no brainer if you have some Pesto on hand. I usually prepare a big batch of Pesto and keep some frozen. The sandwich when combined with a healthy side qualifies

Strawberry Milk Cake Pudding (Eggless)

It all started with trying to make a Tres Leches Cake. When I looked up the recipes, all of them called for eggs. Since I wanted to make an eggless dessert, I thought maybe this time I should just make a milk cake pudding. The pudding is not ‘Tres Leches’ as Tres Leches would mean

Today I tried Moroccan Lentil and Garbanzo soup at Sweet Tomatoes. The soup was great- light, chunky, flavorful and apparently low calorie just the way I like my soups. I guess I liked it so much that I came home, looked up a few recipes and decided to make a batch for dinner (while I
