Thanks Laura! I have tried that before and maybe that was the other good method for this cookie- I know there are a couple but I forgot!- i’m done with wax paper in the oven though since the last time I set off the fire alarm and had to tell the security co that it was ok:)

USE PARCHMENT PAPER INSTEAD OF WAX PAPER!

Thanks for the info Sue! Sorry the experiment didn’t work out though. However, I’ve made these cookies numerous times and they really aren’t consistent- I am not sure if it’s the size of the banana or what sometimes!

I completely agree with you about Silpat. I never use it (except sometimes to knead pizza dough on). I use foil to bake on and it works really well, but waxed paper is good too.

I will definitely try these with all my ripe bananas. Thanks for the recipe.

Those look fantastic. Next time I go to the store I’m buying the ingredients! Sounds like I better double-up.:)

So I didnt have raw sugar-substituted agave nectar, I didnt have oat flour-substituted quick oats that I grinded, and I had a really old frozen banana that I found in my freezer. They turned out amazing and I think I just ate half the batch! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! Good point on the wax paper, yes, it did smoke up the oven, but not the kind of stinky smoke to set off a fire alarm, and it wasn’t too bad. Maybe that’s what made the tops crispy? And yes, I do use pre-ground oat flour because I’m thinking the oats are minimally processed that way but I could be wrong. Plus, I use it enough to warrant buying it and not having to grind it every time I use it. The oat flour IS fine, yes!
