Paleo Banana Cookies Recipe
Description
This cookie recipe mixes mashed bananas and almond butter with water and vanilla to create a moist base before folding in almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Folded in are chocolate chips, walnuts, coconut, and raisins, adding sweetness and texture. Each cookie portion is topped with a banana slice that slightly flattens it during baking and keeps moisture in.
The cookies bake to a golden bottom with a tender center and slightly chewy texture, balancing natural sweetness and nutty flavors. They suit snacking or a light dessert for those following paleo or grain-free diets.
Baking on parchment-lined sheets helps prevent sticking, and cooling after baking allows the cookies to firm up without losing softness. The combination of spices and mix-ins creates complexity within a simple batter framework.
Ingredients
- 2 medium banana sliced (+ slices for topping, optional, ripe
- 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 walnuts chopped
- ¼ cup coconut
- ¼ cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 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.
