This weekend I made these substituting the bananas for one 15 ounce can pumpkin +2 tablespoons of maple syrup. I swapped the raisins with cranberries and the cinnamon with pumpkin pie spice. It makes beautiful orange and red cookies! Same texture and bake time as the original banana raisin.
To get crunchier cookies I don't have a dehydrater so I leave them in the oven once turned off, let them ''cool'' down slowly and with constant checking I can get these babies to a nice crisp!
I was craving something sweet and crunchy last night so I decided to try this recipe. I only had a little less than one cup of oats left so I just mixed it with one banana and a little cinnamon. They made six cookies and came out perfect. They satisfied my craving perfectly. I ate three and I’m saving the other three for today! 😋
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I’ve made these several times and really feel good about taking them along for an afternoon of hiking - so much healthier than a store bought granola bar!
Wow oats and bananas basically. Terrific! I can't wait to make them! I love your voice, it's so calm and soothing and peaceful. You are very pleasant to watch. Thank you for sharing :)
Hi there from Ningbo in China. I make these regularly for myself. My expat clients love these and i taught them to use the leftovers from making Oat milk which is binding. I have a class I teach in my 28 Day WFPBNO program which is called “Herbs and Spices Make food Nicer” where I show how to use herbs and spices to add variety. I use reusable parchment paper which works fine. I also have a netted silicon mat which allows for air flow. I use whatever dried fruit i have left over to add. I have cookies for breakfast now along with a cup of home made soy milk. I will recommend this video to my students. Would love to interview you for my program. YOu recently spoke to a colleague, Dr. Malcolm Mackay in Melbourne Australia. Love your message!
Just ordered my book, was so excited that it was only $3.00 for postage to Australia 👏🏻👏🏻 postage from US is usually around $30 which makes it beyond my budget....☀️☀️
i didnt have any apples or raisins so used a handful dates i chopped small & a carrot i grated on a box grater on the side that makes the carrot come out soft & fine & feathery! Terrific! Yay!
Hi Chef AJ i just got your book the ultimate weight-loss ,thank you for your story i cant relate to some of your story but other parts of your story ,yes very much . I hope for great results :)
the book also says it will yield 24 (1/4c) cookies... i made my batch without the raisins and it made 12 (with a little bit of extra dough to nibble while the rest were baking :o) totally forgivable mistake, Chef AJ, they are DELISH! thank you!
Chef AJ, I just bought your book, and I made these cookies. They turned out excellent! I am going to freeze some to have a breakfast on the go when needed. Thank you! I enjoy all of your videos
Love ❤️ these my favorite with out the raisin thanks 🙏🏿 for making my journey to heath easy on Vegan I even lost 20 pounds since the 10 of May.👍👏❤️🙏🏿⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌹🧑🍳
Thanks AJ, my first batch is in the dryer and hubby is really keen to take them on his weeklong touring bike adventure...thanks again for your weight loss Wednesday..
Chef AJ, I really enjoy your videos and recipes! Thank you! I often find myself relaxing to your videos after a long, exhausting day. You're a real inspiration, such positive vibes! Love from Ashdod, Israel
I just made this, oh my goodness it is so yummy & sweet. I had to eat my 1lb salad right away to recover from the sweetness. I will keep them while on the 21 Day challenge in the event I want something sweet. Otherwise they will be in the freezer🤣. Great recipe thanks for sharing Chef AJ
These look like the best cookies for those who eat like we do!! I have tried some banana base ones & I should have turned them over like you recommend cuz it takes awhile to get them thoroughly cooked!! Thank you Chef AJ!
Those cookies look fabulous! I wanted to try and dehydrate them in the dehydrator. Approximately how long would you recommend it should be dehydrated for?
Just made these today and love them! I did add the raisins, baked for 30 min, flipped them and baked for 12-15 min more. I like them crispy like Chef AJ does! My question is how to store them so they stay crispy?! Thanks for any info....
I just made these & they are absolutely delicious really hits that cookie spot after just one I felt soo satisfied thankyou so much chef aj!!! I'm binge watching all your recipes & I can't wait to cook them for me & my mom on our new vegan weight loss journey ❤️❤️❤️
Just what I have been waiting for...when the student is ready thr teacher will appear. Many thanks chef AJ this is so my thing and now j can have a guilt free delicious snack😋
I am new to your channel. I have been watching several of your videos while I was getting some things done. I love oats! How many would you eat in one sitting if you were having them for breakfast? If they were the size that you made on the video?
@@CHEFAJ Yr videos along with Dr Mcdougall and Plantiful Kiki inspired me to go plant based over 3 months ago. However, I only lost 6 lbs and still ve 10lbs to go to reach my goal weight. I ve trouble passing wind a lot on this diet. I feel v embarrassed as it stink a lot. Please give me some advice, will this improve?
hi Chef AJ, I have your book here and it's clear that on p.147 the Cookies need 4 bananas, but on p.146 the muffins - I'm still unclear - if you halve EVERYTHING, including the 8 bananas, you get the same recipe as the Forks over Knives one. ie 4 bananas to 2 cups oats etc....so it seems to me the 8 bananas + 4 cups oats is correct? If you change to 4 bananas, then wouldn't you need to also change to 2 cups oats, instead of the 4 listed, etc? Just need to clarify for myself - thanks so much for all your work x
So in my book it's says 8 bananas for both and I think it should be 4 if you are using 4 cups of oats. I think it depends on how toothsome you like it. You know, I didn't even want to put any recipes in the book? That's why it took another year. I never even cook with them!
What temperature would I use on my dehydrator to do these cookies? I saw where you commented about doing it for 8 hours and then flip. After flipping how long do you continue dehydrating? Thanks Chef Aj!
Silicone sheets vs parchment paper, haven’t researched it yet but paper of course decomposes virtually instantly whereas silicone has no doubt huge embodied energy along with eventual disposal issues. Silicone by itself is a toxic substance.
My hero! Do you do individual consults or just talk? Low on the money today, but strong on healthy eating. I care for my mother and after watching Dr. Mc Dougall, she joined me on this plant based vegan journey. How wonderful! We are about the same frame and size and I am eating myself under the table. Eating is my newest hobby only to be replaced by cooking. Much love to you as you spread it everyday! Thank you xoxo Robyn

Living in Hong Kong finding kitchens with space is a luxury so this is one reason I respect AJ’s demos. Her kitchen space is similar to my own
I don't bake it, I just eat it from the bowl like cookie batter
I love your kitchen here...so normal and non-flashy, even though you are famous and amazing! so cool!!
I moved and have a nicer one now
exactly what I was going to say - a normal human's kitchen with knocks and splashes
Loved her kitchen in Indio!

:)
I put a grated apple in mine instead of raisins...yummy!!
Great idea!
i put dried mulberries!
1/8 tsp of nutmeg and 1.tsp vanilla is delicious with the cinnamon too!
if you want to crisp up the bottoms then throw them into your air fryer for a bit.
I use a can of unsweetened crushed pineapple in place of the bananas
Yum
I use oats, dried figs, walnuts, some Amaretto-liqueur and water. Super Yummiiiii!
Hmmm that sounds great! I wonder if some rum extract would go well with this recipe?

Why thank you
Just made these and used your advice to change the amount in my cookbook. I’ve been craving cookies and these are just what I needed. Thank you!!
Chef AJ you're glowing with health and vitality (as always). I wish everyone would watch you.
Thank you I appreciate that
Omg. Can’t wait to try these! I’ve been craving sweets like crazy!

Hello AJ, the book does not mention how long and what temperature to dehydrate, could you share? Thanks! Love your videos and books.
Just ordered my book, was so excited that it was only $3.00 for postage to Australia 👏🏻👏🏻 postage from US is usually around $30 which makes it beyond my budget....☀️☀️
:)
I just love how you do what you do... I'm so glad I found you!!
You can use date paste to sweeten it more if bananas arent enough
Made this oatmeal cookie vegan recipe but added just a little more ingredients it tasted delicious and I plan on making more very soon.Thank you😊
Who could have known you can bake without eggs, sugar, and baking powder. Thanks a lot. This is a must try.
My pleasure 😊
Thank you for the recipe. I also add a chopped apple. Yum!
i didnt have any apples or raisins so used a handful dates i chopped small & a carrot i grated on a box grater on the side that makes the carrot come out soft & fine & feathery! Terrific! Yay!
I’m so very grateful for you and your next- level -healthy, filling , simple , easy , delicious recipes .♥️ ♥️ ♥️
Thank you
My cinnamon snobbery is Ceylon. I learned it was better for you than Saigon. You are beautiful today, dear. Shalom.
And it tastes very sweet too!
Thanks! It's one of my favorite spices
Saigon has too much coumarin. Glad you knew about it.
I was surprised they baked for 30 minutes! They look so good.
If I use the dehydrator, what temperature & how long would you recommend I put it in for?
Just made these - super good! 🙂

I make these a lot. I freeze some so l can have a treat each day. Thankyou. Have you tried doing them with grated apples instead of bananas ?
These look like the best cookies for those who eat like we do!! I have tried some banana base ones & I should have turned them over like you recommend cuz it takes awhile to get them thoroughly cooked!! Thank you Chef AJ!
Hope you enjoy
Personally, I think switching all at once is easier, but do whatever you think will be successful for you!
Thank you AJ , I am going to try this
:)
Those cookies look fabulous! I wanted to try and dehydrate them in the dehydrator. Approximately how long would you recommend it should be dehydrated for?
Could one add flaxseeds or flax meal to get flax in daily diet?
Just made these today and love them! I did add the raisins, baked for 30 min, flipped them and baked for 12-15 min more. I like them crispy like Chef AJ does! My question is how to store them so they stay crispy?! Thanks for any info....
Unfortunately you can't get them crispy without oil unless you dehydrate them
@@CHEFAJ MIne did come out crispy with just baking them....that's why I asked how you store them to keep them crispy
@@patriciabenes6615Oh sorry. I would say in Tupperware but they ay not STAY crispy nonetheless
@@CHEFAJ how do you dehydrate them? I have an airfryer but don't know time and temperature - Thanks to anyone who knows this :)
Hello Chef AJ, Regarding the bonus for the new book, does it apply to both the spiral and paperback editions?
Chef, you did a great job with weight loss, but please don't take it too far. 💕
Same weight for 5 years, BMI is 19
What is the best way to store them? I tried the recipe and they tasted wonderful! Thank you so very much.
It will depend on how long they last 😊 The refrigerator is fine if over a couple of days
Yum...but if the bananas are small probly have to use eight ❤🦋
Probably.
OMG YUMMY!!!! This is a killer recipe
Chef AJ
I just love your channel. I've made these and they are delicious. Keep up the amazing work.
PROJECT DX thank you
What is the cook time in dehydrator? I do have the book but I haven’t looked for this recipe yet
Really depends on how crisp you like it. I would start with 8 hours and then flip.
AJ you are an amazing teacher!
Thank you!
I just bought the book. I can’t wait to try these recipes.
Enjoy♥️
These worked out great.thanks
I love oat groats and do cook them in the Instant Pot. Trying to use the IP more..not be intimidated. Lol
I made these and they are good.
Thank you for this Chef AJ.
Thanks for the video! Good luck with everything😊💥😊
I love this recipe, l enjoy these cookies for breakfast
I'm so excited to try this recipe! Yum. Thank you.
Hope you enjoy
Thank you! I will try them soon!
Please do!
I FOUND OUT that some dark raisins r coated with oil but the goldens r not. So I am going to try & use the golden
My waves,along with ginger and molasses cookies!😋😋😋♥
I just made these & they are absolutely delicious really hits that cookie spot after just one I felt soo satisfied thankyou so much chef aj!!! I'm binge watching all your recipes & I can't wait to cook them for me & my mom on our new vegan weight loss journey ❤️❤️❤️
That's wonderful...thanks for watching and all the best on your journey!
Thank you so much! Can't wait to try this recipe. It will be something new and nutritious for breakfast!
I am such a fan thank you for posting
What can you use in place of bananas? I’m allergic
It depends on the recipe, but applesauce, canned pumpkin and mashed sweet potato could be used.
Just what I have been waiting for...when the student is ready thr teacher will appear. Many thanks chef AJ this is so my thing and now j can have a guilt free delicious snack😋
Fabulous!
Can I substitute raisins with almonds
I've made this recipe using almonds, walnuts and/or pecans. They're all good
Sure
Raisen Oatmeal my favorite
I made them tonight. I love them! Thank you!
Great!
Just ordered my book! Excited to get started. Thank you for the inspiration ❤️
Thank you hope you liked it
I made these and the smell must have filled my house. Patient at the hospital told me I smelled like oatmeal cookies 🤣🤣
Hilary Kelley 😂😂
Love these!! I have your book and made them...Question : Can I dehydrate them after I have baked them? And for how long?
I don't know if that would work. I never tried.
What can i substitute bananas with? I don’t like pumpkin.
Read the comments. There are lots of suggestions.
Thank you
I am new to your channel. I have been watching several of your videos while I was getting some things done. I love oats! How many would you eat in one sitting if you were having them for breakfast? If they were the size that you made on the video?
2-4 should do it!
4 ripe bananas mashed up
4 cups of rolled oats
1 cup of raisins
1 tbs cinnamon
Oven 180 c for 30mins
Thank u Chef AJ😘
Enjoy!

thank you! should you keep these in the fridge?
I WOULD
have you tried to use whole oats groats insted? :)
I watched the video before making so Now MY Book is right LOL !!!!
Virginia Roach good timing!
How long would the cinnamon stay fresh?
several years
What temperature would I use on my dehydrator to do these cookies? I saw where you commented about doing it for 8 hours and then flip. After flipping how long do you continue dehydrating? Thanks Chef Aj!
I just crank it all the way up so it goes faster
Chef aj are European chestnuts ok to eat unlimited they nuts but low in fat and high in starch
What is the caloric density? Do they have salt?

Awesome cookies
Beautiful
LOL....show Charles some daily love! Give him the Good cinnamon for his daily oatmeal!
:)
Why not use a Pampered Chef cooking stone?
Cathy Day You certainly could but mine broke
What would we do without you?💝
I don't know!
@@CHEFAJ thank goodness we dont have to find out!
What size scoop are you using?
1/2 cup
Why do you press the cookie down? Will it not flatten out?
No because there’s no baking ingredients they don’t spread so yeah flatten them out :)
