Oatmeal Coconut Banana cookies

I adapted this recipe from the one at Vegan Vice using ingredients I had. We had a big bunch of very ripe bananas, and last night I made a great vegan banana bread with 3 of them. I'll post the recipe for that later. Today, I made these cookies with the last two bananas.

Dry ingredients:
1 c whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp ginger
1 c brown sugar
1 c steel cut oats
1/2 c coconut flakes

Wet ingredients:
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp almond extract
1/4 c canola or vegetable oil
2 tbsp vanilla soy milk
1/4 c mashed ripe banana

Preheat oven to 375F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and spray with oil.

In one bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and ginger. Add brown sugar, rolled oats, and coconut flakes. The brown sugar will be clumpy, so stir up the ingredients well.

In another bowl, combine wet ingredients. Make sure the bananas are well-mashed or you'll get big gooey chunks. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.

Spoon cookies onto cookie sheet. Bake for about 10-12 minutes on the middle rack. Take them out and let them cool.

Enjoy!
