Preparation

Step 1

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
Mush the ripe bananas with a fork. Mix the wet ingredients together: bananas, vanilla, and oil. In another bowl, mix remaining dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and gently mix. Fold in the chocolate or carob chips. The dough will be loose. Here’s my favorite line in her recipe: ‘don’t worry about it’. Ha.
On a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat, make mini balls, then give them a gentle smash to flatten them. I like them in balls. Hugh prefers them in pucks. Shape as you wish. They don’t really change shape while baking, so spacing 1’’ between is fine.
Bake for about 14 minutes until puck or nugget is firm. Do not undercook these cookies or they will crumble
