ingredients

115 g butter, at room temperature (or Spectrum Spread)
1 egg (or substitute)
40 g mashed ripe bananas (about 1/2 a banana)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
100 g light brown sugar
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons orange rind (grated)
125 g whole wheat flour
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
120 g rolled oats
20 g desiccated coconut
60 g chopped walnuts
75 g sultanas (OR 90 g dark chocolate chips)

directions

Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
Cream butter and egg together until well blended and smooth. Gradually beat in the banana, vanilla extract, and brown sugar. Add the orange zest. Mix well with a wooden spoon until all the ingredients are thoroughly blended.
In a large bowl mix the flour, slat, baking powder, oats, coconut, walnuts, and sultanas or chocolate chips. Use a wooden spoon to combine dry ingredients until they are evenly mixed. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly until there is no sign of dryness.
Grease or line a baking sheet. Drop heaping tablespoonsful of the dough onto the greased baking sheet, leaving 5cm (2 inches) space around each one, and press down to lightly flatten. Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
