Peanut Butter and Banana Cookies a Vegan Recipe

Vegan Peanut Butter and Banana Cookies now that is a recipe I thought I would never bake, but I am up for a challenge. So when my friend Linda who owns The Ferns, a Vegetarian Bed and Breakfast in Shropshire, was coming by for a cuppa and a catch up I promised I would bake some Vegan biscuits. We wanted to test a biscuit recipe that would be suitable for a Vegan guest at The Ferns.

Peanut Butter and Banana Cookies Recipe

I found a recipe for Peanut Butter and Banana Cookiesthat contained no eggs, no butter but ingredients that I also had in the house. Many vegan recipes contained specific ingredients such as dairy free butter, not something I normally have in my fridge. 

Such a simple biscuit recipe to make, and both Linda and I agreed they had a great taste and texture. I will certainly be baking these again. I halved the original recipe to make 15 biscuits, I also adjusted the amount of vanilla extract.
