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!)
