I'm a sucker for cookies. I really am. The season brings out the worst in me, tempting me to make batch upon batch, with very few people around to eat them. When I found this recipe, I got pretty excited- these treats are amazing to the taste buds and much more nutritious than sugar, butter, and flour loaded cookies we are used to.
Scrumptious Flourless Cookies
3 large, ripe bananas, mashed
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup coconut oil, barely warm (or, alternatively olive oil or 1/2 c coconut oil and 1/2 cup grapeseed)
2 cups rolled oats
2/3 cup almond meal
1/3 cup coconut, finely shredded and unsweetened
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
6-7 oz semi sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate bar chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, racks in top third.
In large bowl combine bananas, vanilla extract, coconut oil, and grapeseed oil if using. Set aside. In another bowl whisk together all dry ingredients except chocolate. Add dry to wet and stir until combined. Fold in chocolate chunks/ chips. The dough is looser than a standard cookie dough, don't worry about this. Drop dollops of the dough, each about 2 tsp in size, an inch apart, onto a parchment or Silpat lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 min. Makes about 3 dozen bite-sized cookies.
