Hi Jess, thanks for visiting.
I love these cookies - I feel like you can eat them any time of day. Coconut oil gives them such a rich flavor and texture but you can probably substitute any mild-flavored oil or vegan margarine. Please let me know how they turn out with the marg!

Vanessa,
Your recipes are amazing! Last week when I felt under the weather I tried out your soup with ginger and garlic and lemon - yum! Even my neighbor was lured by the smell and luckily I had plenty to spare!
I have these cookies in the oven right now and like Ben did not have coconut oil. I can’t find any around here that is not virgin. So I used vegan margarine. Can’t wait to see how they turn out. Thanks for your creativity and wonderful recipes!

Cassie- Thank you! Please do let me know how they turn out.

Bazu- the slighly greenish stage is my fav banana stage too. After they are usually relegated to a granola topping or the freezer to save for later baked treats. Yes, will certainly let you know if I do another ICA course!

Commonplaceiris- Great! Hope everything worked out for you.

Christine- Thank you! Yes, I certainly hope to take another class and that our paths cross again. Best of luck to you!

Almost Vegetarian- Hmmm, you’re giving me an idea to try agave nectar or maple syrup next time. I’m also thinking they could be made with wheat flour and/or some ground flax seeds to really punch up the health factor. Back to the kitchen, I guess

Ben - Yes, you could substitute vegetable oil or vegan margarine. It won’t have quite the same body as the coconut oil but should work fine. Let me know how they turn out!

I don’t think I can get my hands on coconut oil… can I use vegetable oil instead?

Now that looks incredible. Truly incredible. And if you look the other way when the sugar is being added, you could almost argue that they are healthy. Why just look at all those wonderful bananas all bursting with healthful potassium. Well, that’s my story and I’m going to stick with it!

Thanks for the recipe. Truly.

Cheers!
