Equipment

  • Sheet pan
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 1 large ripe banana
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg

Optional Topping:

  • 1/2 cup melted, dairy-free dark chocolate for drizzling on the cookies.

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add the banana to a mixing bowl and use a potato masher or fork to mash well.
  • Add the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, vinegar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the mixing bowl and use a whisk to mix well.
  • Add the coconut flour and baking soda and stir to combine.
  • Use your hands to roll the cookie dough into 12 evenly sized balls (approximately one heaping tablespoon each) and place them, evenly spaced, on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
  • Use your fingers to press the cookie dough balls into flat circle shapes.
  • Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 14 minutes or until slightly golden around the edges.
  • Allow the cookies to cool to room temperature before serving.

Optional Step:

  • Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle melted, dairy-free dark chocolate on top of the cookies, then place them in the fridge to let the chocolate harden for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze them for up to three months.
  • Optional addition: add 1/2 cup each of chopped walnuts and/or pecans to the cookie dough.
