2
Sift flour, brown sugar, sugar, instant oatmeal, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir in walnuts and raisins.

Combine banana, cocoa, and almond milk in a food processor; process until pureed. Transfer to a bowl and mix in vegan margarine, orange juice, vanilla, and molasses until combined. Pour into the dry mixture and mix with a spatula to combine. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.
