Chocolate-Chip Banana Bites (low calorie/vegan)

• 1/3 cup plus 1/4 cup flour (I used 70g oat flour. You can use all-purpose or spelt.)
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp baking soda (not baking powder)
• 2T to 1/3 cup chocolate chips, depending on your preference
• 2T brown sugar (do not omit or sub with white) (20g)
• 1T plus 2tsp white sugar (If you have no sweet tooth, like me, you can omit) (21g)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1T vegetable oil (or pre-melted margarine) (12g)
• 2-3T nondairy milk, or more if needed (feel free to switch proportions of milk and oil) (30-45g)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Mix your dry ingredients, then add in wet. Form baby-sized cookies OR big cookies and bake 6-8 minutes. Take out when still underdone–they’ll continue to cook while cooling, and so you don’t want them to get hard. (If you made big cookies, you can use a circle-shaped cookie cutter to achieve baby cookies.)

To serve: sandwich a banana slice between two cookies. If possible, do this at the last minute so the bananas stay fresh. For a variation, replace banana with sliced strawberries!
