So yesterday was a fantastic Sunday. First of all, both Clueless AND Casino Royale were on TV, so I had them on in the background as I got some stuff done around the house. I have been in the mood to bake, so I made some time to make these cookies and some Tropical Oatstacks*. Then I did some shopping for some new spring essentials clothes/accessories with two lovely ladies and had a dinner date. I got the girl time I had been needing. To close out the day, my boyfriend came over and we laughed to The Hangover II. Who says Sundays can't be fun?
*This Tropical Oatstack recipe comes from The Food Matters Cookbook.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 stick of unsalted butter (or sub veg oil to make them vegan)
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup of nuts (I used walnuts but macadamia was suggested)
- 1 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
- 1 tsp of baking powder
- pinch of salt
Preparations:
1) Heat over to 250
2) Mash bananas in a large bowl, stir in melted butter and vanilla
3) In a separate bowl, mix together oats, nuts, shredded coconut, baking powder, and salt
4) Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture and stir until wll combined
5) Drop tblspn sized mounds of dough about 3 inches apart on baking sheets, bake 12-15 minutes
Let cool and enjoy!
The consistency was a bit mushy to say the least and these got mixed reviews. But give 'em a try and see what you think! Good for a mid-morning or late night snack.
