Mine was actually a combination of the two, because I was just finishing up the creamy jar and the next one was crunchy. You can use creamy or crunchy peanut butter here- whatever you like more. Next add to the banana the brown sugar and the peanut butter- for me this was the hardest part of the recipe, getting the peanut butter out of the jar. If you want a really smooth banana (no little bits in the cookies like I had) you can blend them in a blender, but having to wash a blender really defeats the purpose of an easy recipe for me. I used a potato masher, because it makes a quick job of it- you can also use a fork, but it will take a little longer. How to Make 5-Ingredient Banana Peanut Butter Cookies Visual Learner?

Probably all ingredients you have around anyways, and if not you can find them at literally any grocery store. The only other thing I thought I needed was a little lift, especially because I didn’t have any egg around to do that for me, so I threw in some baking powder.Īnd really, that’s most of the recipe for these 5-ingredient vegan banana peanut butter cookies- banana, peanut butter, flour, sugar and baking soda. I’m not gluten-free, so plain old white flour will work just fine to form the base of my cookies. For example, I certainly don’t need to use white sugar and brown sugar as many recipes do, but I did need sugar (I decided brown would be tastier). Since I wanted a cookie with as little fluff as possible, the final steps were deciding what ingredients were essential to make a cookie a cookie. It’s been something I’ve been eating a lot of lately, as you can see from my Instagram posts. Even though I haven’t seen the apes eat all that many bananas, watching the show tends to put me in a banana mood- and since I happened to have bananas around, the first ingredient in my 5-ingredient vegan peanut butter banana cookies had been found.įrom there the process was pretty easy- peanut butter cookies are a favorite of mine, and banana’s and peanut butter are a natural combination. Of course, my association with monkeys and food has to be bananas. Lots of them are so similar to the way we express ourselves, it’s easy to empathize with their emotions, struggles and successes- I think that’s why to show is so great, the lives of these apes are so relatable across species. Another thing I really relate to is how much the apes LOVE the treats they get- often popsicles, yoghurt, nuts or fruits. There is also something so amazing about watching these animals- particularly the orangutans and chimps (our closer relatives)- and seeing their expressions, social interactions and behaviors. But on the other hand, given many of their life circumstances, having a fairly large area to share with other members of their own species, as well as food, protection and the care and compassion of the human-primates working there is leaps and bounds better to other alternatives. I find this show bittersweet- the monkeys and apes living at Monkey World are there only there because humans have mistreated them, ruined their natural habitats, and made it impossible for them to live more normal monkey lives. The show is set at a primate rescue center in England, and it shows the day to day lives of different non-human primates who have found a home there. On an unrelated note, I’ve been watching a lot of the show Monkey Life on Netflix. The only problem was while I had purchased radishes, eggplant, cabbage, beets, broccoli, beans (etc.), Haymarket doesn’t sell cookies- and certainly not vegan cookies! I knew I was destined for a sugary treat in the future, and now I just needed to figure out how to get the best cookie with the least effort. I had gone on a massive produce adventure earlier (to Haymarket, for those in the Boston area), and felt like I’d accomplished just about enough for the day. This weekend I was laying in bed, really just lazing around.
