Description
Delicious soft banana almond cookies made with wholesome ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large ripe banana
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup almond flour
- ⅓ cup quick oats (or oat flour, or blended rolled oats)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ⅓ cup walnuts (chopped)
- 1½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or cinnamon or both)
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork. Add the egg and mix well until smooth.
- Add the almond flour, quick oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). Mix gently until you get a thick, sticky dough, then fold in the walnuts.
- Let the dough rest for 5 minutes, then scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough for each cookie onto the baking sheet, forming small mounds. Do not flatten.
- Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, until set and lightly golden on top. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before moving them. They are meant to be soft and will firm up as they cool.
Notes
- For a variation, try adding chocolate chips or substituting pecans for walnuts.
