Safe Chocolate banana walnut cookies

These turned out a bit cakier than I might have liked, but they were delicious and sweet and perfect crumbled in rice cream for a succulent dessert. Inspired by some weird health cookie recipe a friend saw on Real Housewives of New Jersey.

1c buckwheat flour
1/4c cocoa powder

2 rotten bananas
1/3c vegetable oil
1/3c agave nectar
1tsp vanilla extract

1/2c crushed walnuts

Whisk dry ingredients in one bowl. Whisk wet ingredients well in another, breaking up the banana. Add wet to dry. Mix in crushed walnuts. Bake 20 minutes at 350.

Buying pancake mix was an excellent decision

Today I used hemp milk in place of water and sliced in fresh bananas and chopped walnuts. Rich, nourishing, delicious.

Spot on after a late-night sushi feast prepared by a friend with awareness of my diet and my first brave foray into fearless raw fish eating, sleeping in too late to hit the DMV for my Washington state driver's license (which will not only cost money but also require a test!), reading a horoscope that says though my day may be an 8 I better avoid what's outside and watch my back, and finally allowing myself to read for pleasure, in bed, after over a month of headache-induced avoidance. Banana walnut pancakes, cedar incense, Djuna Barnes, Bill Callahan on the turntable - sounds like a prescription for Seattle's first rainy Saturday in months.
