Breakfast Cookies

Ingredients

Dry:

• 1 cup garbanzo flour*
• 1 cup rolled oats
• ½ cup shredded coconut
• ¼ cup ground flax
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¾ tsp salt

Wet:

• ¾ cup nut butter (we like almond or cashew)
• ½ cup cup grated zucchini
• 1 extra ripe mashed banana (about ½ cup)**
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• ½ cup dried cranberries
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

*We used Bob’s Red Mill Garbanzo and Fava Flour. Other legume flours would likely work, but we haven’t tested them.

**You want your banana to be extra ripe so that the starch content is reduced and the sugars are more developed, providing a natural sweetness! (A perfect place to use imperfect bananas!)
