EVOLUTION OF THE RAW ONE BANANA COOKIE

OK, I’ve made crackers from flax seeds and got really interested in flax in our diet.  Some time ago I had watched the cutest video of little three-year-old Zion making cookies from flax seed, sunflower seeds, bananas, and cinnamon. In case you missed the last post, here it is again!  Too cute to miss!

So I decided to try it.  Zoe’s recipe called for 1 tbsp flax seeds, 1 tbsp sunflower seeds, 2 bananas,  golden raisins, and 1/ 4 tsp cinnamon.  They were OK, but for my taste, they needed a little zip…

After playing around with various combinations, this is what I found worked really well for us.  The beauty of this recipe is that it’s so simple, if little Zion can do it, anyone can do it.

It satisfies that sweet tooth with no refined sugar. It’s a great way to expand a banana and use up odds and ends of nuts and seeds. Great way to introduce whole raw seeds into your kid’s diets. And when you have a hankering for cookies but it’s too hot to crank up the oven, these definitely fit the bill!
