Soft Banana Cookies

One of my daughters favorite treats - these soft banana cookies are great to prep ahead, store in the freezer and let thaw before letting your little one go to town! Bonus - they're also delish for adults!

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe medium bananas
  • ½ cup almond butter
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup flour (you can sub for almond flour if you prefer)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon hemp hearts
  • 1 tablespoon cacao powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • cup mini dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a stand mixer, beat together bananas, almond butter, water and vanilla until smooth. Add the almond flour, chia seeds, hemp hearts, cacao powder, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and mix until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Place 12 cookies onto the baking sheet evenly, 2-3 tablespoons each.
  • If you have more banana, add a slice to the top of each cookie.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes - you want them to still be a little soft. Cool and serve.

Notes

  • Make these gluten-free with almond flour!
  • Make ahead, let cool, then freeze to keep on hand.
