Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Stir the flours, oats, sugar, baking powder, and spices together in a large bowl. Gradually add the margarine (you can soften this a bit to make it easier to stir), peanut butter, banana, vanilla, raisins and chocolate chips. Mix well.

Bake for 10-12 minutes and let cool before moving them to a cooling rack. Makes anywhere from 12 to 20 cookies, depending on how big you like them.

I am brand new to vegan baking (as in this is my first time) and I just made these and they are some of the best cookies I've had in long time!

The only thing I changed was I added about an 1/8 cup of light plain soymilk to the batter. I dunno if that really changed much, my batter just seemed a tad dry. But, great nontheless.

Oh and I love how the batter alone can be eaten safely. very nice.

Thankssss!

Whoa, these are awesome!!!! I made the following subs/changes

-3/4 C white flour, 1/4 C whole wheat flour

-almond butter instead of peanut butter

-for the 1/2 C sugar, I used 1/4 C sugar, 3 T agave, 1 T blackstrap molasses

-instead of raisins and chocolate chips, I added in dried cranberries, cashews, and apart of a chopped up chocolate bar

AWESOME.

I want to make these, but I don't want the peanutbutter flavor. Can I leave out the peanutbutter or is it necessary for the texture? Do I need to replace it with something?
