How did I make Makhana & Banana Chewy Cookies? Are you wondering too?
Well if you have tried my recipes in past, you would know that experimenting is what I love most and I am in constant lookout for recipes which can be healthy for my family and nutritious enough. But also don’t consume much time , yes so this recipe of Makhana & Banana Chewy Cookies is one of such things.
Ofcourse in your mind you need to plan your stuff and ingredients but otherwise it doesn’t take much time. Also most of the time is in the oven so the real work is even less…ha ha that’s what baking is all about..aahh… I meant healthy baking. Also adding banana not just makes the cookie moist and that’s why its soft and chewy but gives a flavour that you would keep having more. Ya that’s the tricky part since the sweetness of this Makhana & Banana Chewy Cookies is so controlled because of the natural sugar in dates and banana that it doesn’t get overwhelming.
Goodness of Makhana / Foxnuts is that they are rich in Calcium and Banana add good amount of Phosphorous too. Oats are rich in Fibre and overall this is great combination for breakfast. A glass of milk and two of these cookies is a perfect combination.
If you want you can add chocochips for kids in the cookie dough too and let them have more fun with this Makhana & Banana Chewy Cookies.
Makhana & Banana Chewy Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fox Nuts
- 1/4 cup Oats
- 2 Ripe Bananas
- 1/4 cup Almonds
- 1/4 cup Milk
- 2 tbsp Dry Dates Powder
- 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tsp Vanilla Essence
Instructions
Dry roast both Fox nuts and Oats separately and then powder them too separately. Dry roast almonds too and coarsely powder them too.
Next add both the powders in the mixture again along with dry dates powder and pulse it couple of more times.
Empty this mixture in a bowl and gently mix salt, almonds, baking powder and baking soda and keep aside.
In a bowl mash bananas and add vanilla essence and milk and mix well.
Gradually add all dry mix and make a soft dough. Use more milk if its very dry as the dough should not be very tight but soft.
Preheat the oven and keep the dough for 10 mins proofing covered with a cloth.
Now take small balls of dough and flatten them with hands in shape of cookies. You use fork to press and make a design too or use cookie cutters.
Grease a baking tray and keep all the cookies on it with 2 inches distance amongst each other.
Bake these each side for 8 to 10 mins at 180 degree C. You would have to flip it over after one side is brown. Cool it and keep in fridge and enjoy the soft chewy Banana flavoured cookies.
