Description
Delicious soft cookies made with ripe banana and almond flour.
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 banana with a fork. Add the egg and mix well until smooth.
- Gently add the almond flour, quick oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon if using until you get a thick, sticky dough. Then mix in the walnuts.
- Let the dough rest for 5 minutes, then scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough for each cookie onto the baking sheet. Do not flatten.
- Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 15 to 17 minutes, until set and lightly golden on top. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before moving. These cookies are meant to be soft and will firm up as they cool.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
- These cookies can be frozen for later enjoyment.
