Yummy cookies in your diet!!?

Banana and Nut Cookies
makes 12

Ingredients:
4 ripe bananas
170g soya flour
60g wholemeal flour
2eggs
3tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp baking powder
25g cashew nuts
30 rasins

Mash all 4 bananas in a small bowl using a fork, then transfer to a larger cooking bowl. If you want to have less washing up you can mash the bananas in the large bowl but you will find it a lot harder work.

Slowly mix the soy and wholemeal flour into the bananas causing the mixture to thicken.

Mix in the eggs and olive oil to form a smooth paste.

Add the cashew nuts and raisins and gently mix them in.

Line two baking trays with baking parchment and lightly grease the surface with a little butter. Using two spoons transfer six large scoops of the mixture onto each baking tray. Cook for 15 minutes in an oven preheated to 190°C/380°F/Gas Mark 5.
