Chunky Monkey Paleo Banana Cookies are chewy and flavorful healthy cookies that are completely grain-free. They taste like dessert but are full of good for you ingredients making them perfect for busy weekday mornings. These almond flour banana cookies are made with 100% good for you ingredients and have zero added sugar. And I'm fully aware that under most circumstances those two statements would not be a cookie selling feature, but these are paleo breakfast cookies so I guessing that if you're here it's because you want a healthy cookie recipe. So let's not try to hide it. These paleo cookies are all the good and healthy things.
Ingredients
2 medium ripe bananas, sliced (+ slices for topping, optional)
½ cup almond butter, can sub peanut butter if not paleo
¼ cup water
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup dark chocolate chips
¼ cup chopped walnuts
¼ cup coconut
¼ cup raisins
Method
* Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
* Add the banana slices, almond butter, water, and vanilla to a large bowl and beat with electric beaters until mostly smooth.
* Add the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, and beat until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips, walnuts, coconut, and raisins.
* Drop the dough (it will be sticky) into 12 equal mounds on the baking sheets. Press a banana slice into the top of each cookie to flatten it out a little.
* Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden then remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool.
