Notes

Variation: If you want a stiffer, heavier cookie, add 1/4 cup whole-wheat flour or unbleached white flour to the recipe, and delete 1 teaspoon baking powder. These cookies are very soft and cakelike.

Ingredients

1/4 cup safflower oil
2/3 cup mild honey
4 egg whites, or 1/2 cup egg substitute
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup organic peanut butter, to taste
1 cup very ripe banana, mashed (about 1 large banana)
3/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (preferably sea salt)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Cream together the oil and honey.
Beat in the egg whites or egg substitute, vanilla, and organic peanut butter, then stir in the mashed banana.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt and stir into the liquid mixture. Blend well.
Drop onto lightly sprayed baking sheets by scant tablespoonfuls 1 inch apart.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 to 15 minutes.
Cool on racks.
