Servings: 7 large cookies
Calories: 232kcal
Ingredients
- 1½ cup almond flour blanched and fine (not almond meal)
- ½ cup overripe banana mashed very smooth
- ½ tsp baking powder
Optional adds-in
- 2-3 tbsp vegan chocolate chips I like these mini vegan chocolate chips
- 2-3 tbsp shredded coconut
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp maple syrup for sweeter cookies
- 2-3 tbsp nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds) chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mash the banana until very smooth (it should be very saucy).
- In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour with the baking powder. Then, add the mashed banana and stir until combined and uniform. Stir in the flavoring ingredients, if using, and combine.
- Divide the batter into 7 equal portions (an ice cream scoop works well for that), place them on the prepared baking sheet and then use your fingers to flatten the balls slightly.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes or until slightly golden brown. Let the cookies rest for 5 minutes before enjoying.

Notes
- Storage: let the cookies cool down first and then store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, then transfer to the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them.
- It is important to use overripe bananas for the best result. This will ensure the cookies are moist and sweet enough.
