Recipe type: Gluten Free / Dairy Free / Vegan
Yield: 10-12 Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 Very Ripe Banana (it’s ok to use the brown parts)
- 1 ½ Cups Super Fine Almond Flour (Note: may need 2 – 4 TBSP more)
- Optional for Sweeter Cookie: 2 TBSP Monk Fruit Sugar (I used Swerve brand)
- ½ Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
- Pinch of Fine Himalayan Sea Salt
- Optional: 1 TBSP Dairy Free Mini Chocolate Chips (I used Enjoy Life Brand)
Note: This recipe makes 6 plain cookies and 6 chocolate chip cookies.
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a mini food processor, add the banana. Blend until completely smooth. No lumps!
- Add the 1 ½ cups almond flour, monk fruit sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, pinch of salt.
- Blend until combined. When touching dough, it should not be sticking to skin. If so, add more flour 1 TBSP at a time.
- Line cookie sheet with unbleached parchment paper. For the first 6 cookies, form into ball and flatten until about 3/8 inch thick.
- Optional: For the remaining dough, add 1 TBSP of mini chocolate chips. Then form into ball and flatten until about 3/8 inch thick.
- Bake 12-15 minutes – watch closely since all ovens slightly vary. Remove from oven when edges start to brown. Store in sealed container. If last more than 2 days, keep in fridge or freezer.
- Nut Free Modifications: In place of almond flour use the following: ½ Cup Coconut Flour | ½ Cup Cassava Flour | ½ cup White Rice Flour. 2-3 bananas for correct texture. Also recommend using regular sized food processor for these.
