Low Fat Vegan Cookie Dough Recipes

Steps:

• Mix 2 1/2 cups of the flour in a bowl with the baking soda, baking powder, and the salt. Mix the maple syrup, applesauce, brown sugar, and soymilk in another bowl, Stir the flour mixture into the mixed wet ingredients. Continue to add flour 1/4 cup at a time until dough is no longer sticky. Knead dough by hand adding a couple of tablespoons of flour at a time if dough becomes sticky.
• Dough can now be rolled and shaped as per need.
• Typical baking time is 10 minutes in a 325F oven.
• This recipe is the best effort to date of trying to find a workable low fat alternative to high fat pastry type cookie dough. Corn syrup will work in place of the maple syrup. Increasing the baking soda lightens the cookie, while decreasing it produces a chewier cookie. Sugar can be adjusted up or down as desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Mash bananas in large measuring cup. There should be just shy of 1 cup of mashed banana - add a little extra apple sauce if you don't have enough banana. Stir in apple sauce, honey, and vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, oats, baking soda, and spices. Add wet stuff and stir until incorporated. Fold in zest, walnuts, and fruit.
• Scoop onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. (I use an ice cream scoop.) Press them a little to flatten slightly. Bake about 15 minutes.
