Vegan Chocolate Chip, Raisin & Oatmeal cookies

Found this one online, but I forget where I got it, or what I typed into the search. Anyway, I've modified them enough from the original recipe to make them healthier and tastier. I like throwing in almost everything in the cupboard when I bake.

Vegan Chocolate Chip, Raisin & Oatmeal Cookies

-1 cup unbleached flour

-1/3 cup whole-wheat flour

-1/4 cup wheat germ

-1 teaspoon salt

-3/4 cup olive oil (can use canola, I had none, but found olive gave it a nutty flavour)

-2 tablespoons soy milk

-1 cup brown sugar

-1/3 cup white sugar

-1/2 ripe banana, mashed

-1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla

-2 cups quick oats

-1/2 cup Thompson raisins

-1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1. Mix flours, wheat germ, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

2. In large bowl, mix oil and sugars until creamy. Add mashed banana, soy milk and vanilla. Mix well.

3. Slowly add flour mix to wet mix. Mix in oats, raisins & chips.

4. Drop by tablespoon-full onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 9-13 minutes.

They won't change colour too much in the oven. Let cool 2 minutes on cookie sheet, then remove carefully and let cool about 5 minutes before serving. They need the time to harden a bit, since they tend to fall apart when too warm.

Alteration idea: could add in sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, nuts and/or coconut to make an "everything but the kitchen sink" kind of cookie.
