Guilt free cookies

I had to make treats to bring in to school for a meeting. I wanted to find something delicious and not horrible for you. I ended up making 2 kinds of cookies.

Chocolate Banana Oat Cookies

• 3 ripe bananas
• 2 cups oats
• 1/4 cups almond butter
• 1/4 cup cocoa
• 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

1. Directions:
2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Mash bananas in a large bowl, then stir in remaining ingredients. Let batter stand for approximately 20 minutes, then drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes.

 


 Chocolate Chip banana Cookies
         2 eggs

• 2 table spoons coconut oil melted
• 1/2 cup mashed banana (about 1 medium sized banana)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chips)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Combine eggs, oil, banana, almond milk, and vanilla in a large bowl.
3. In a small bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
4. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix until well incorporated.
5. Stir in chocolate chips.
6. Scoop heaping spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and flatten each lightly with the back of a spoon.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until they start to brown around the edges (they will have a soft texture, so be careful not to over cook).
8. Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes, then completely cool on wire rack.
9. Snack your little heart out.
