A quick and easy cocoa treat

Biscuits with peanut butter as an ingredient can be found here and there on the internet. I chose this recipe because, except for the sugar present in the (optional) dark chocolate granules, no other sugar is added. It is the banana that provides natural and mineral-rich sweetness. At the same time, the bananas give the soft, cohesive and springy texture to these soft biscuits. This is an example of how bananas can be the perfect egg replacements in sweet recipes.

The ingredients for approx 10 pieces:

  • 220 g peanut butter
  • 280 g ripe, mashed bananas
  • about two and a half tablespoons of oat flakes
  • about 35 g unsweetened cocoa powder
  • a pinch of salt
  • optional: two tablespoons of dark chocolate granules or drops

This is how to prepare them:

  • Grind the oat flakes into flour in your blender or food processor.
  • Mix the oat flakes and cocoa powder well.
  • Mix the mashed banana and peanut butter in a food processor until they form a homogeneous mixture.
  • Add the dry mixture to the liquid mixture and mix well.
  • Finally, spoon the chocolate drops through the mixture.
  • Set the mixture in the fridge for an hour and a half to stiffen.
  • Spoon out the batter one spoon at a time and finally roll 10 balls of the biscuit dough between your fingers.
  • Place the balls on a sheet of baking paper with enough space in between.
  • You may want to flatten the balls a bit with the back of a spoon.
  • Bake for a maximum of 10 to 15 minutes (depending on your oven) in a preheated oven of 165°C.
  • Let the biscuits cool on a wire rack before eating them.

When I first tried this recipe, I was very sceptical when I saw the sticky batter.
Dirty fingers guaranteed! But the result paid off. Soft, springy biscuits with a deep, dark chocolate flavour.
Yet another vegan treat that doesn’t take much time. One hundred per cent vegan baking fun with respect for all creatures of life.

This recipe is a personal interpretation of a recipe from the cookbook “Secrets d’endurance” by Christophe Berg. Highly recommended for anyone who values health. Especially endurance athletes will find themselves appealed by the many inspiring recipes, all with few, but varied and healthy plant-based ingredients. The booklet (in French), by the way, is published by that great publisher La Plage, which has lots of vegan titles in its range.
