Ingredients
2 ripe bananas
1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1 egg
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup 70% dark chocolate chips (optional)
Cinnamon to taste
Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.
3. 3. Add the egg, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
4. 4. Stir in the peanut butter until fully incorporated.
5. 5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
6. 6. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until a homogeneous dough forms.
7. 7. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
8. 8. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
9. 9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden. The centers will still look slightly soft; they will firm up as they cool.
10. 10. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a sweeter cookie, add a few drops of stevia or xylitol to the dough. You can substitute almond flour with certified gluten-free oat flour if desired.
For an egg-free version, mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed or chia with 3 tablespoons of water and let sit for 5 minutes before adding to the mixture.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
