In keeping with Anna's recent Coat of Arms article that includes tips on how to procrastinate via baking---but also with due acknowledgment that over-zealous procrastination might be hazardous to one's studently complexion---here is a recipe from The Garden of Vegan cookbook that will give you the satisfaction of baking, without biting a one-hour chunk out of your day. The miracle component: a microwave. Purists may balk at this, but the smell of molten banana and chocolate is a powerful argument.
Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
1/2 banana, mashed
1/2 cup dry sweetener
1/4 cup margarine
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup soy milk
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup oats
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup chocolate chips
In a large bowl, mash the banana. Stir in the sweetener, margarine, vanilla, and soy milk and mix well. Add the flour, oats, baking powder, and salt and mix well. Spread evenly in a lightly oiled microwave-safe loaf pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Cook on high in the microwave for 4-5 minutes. Let cool before cutting and serving.
Enjoy!

That recipe heading is supposed to say "Bars," not "Cookies." My mistake.
