Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe and spotty bananas ( about 226 g)
- 1/2 cup natural nut or seed butter (peanut butter, almond butter, etc)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup ground flax (flaxseed meal)
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 packed cup (194 g) almond pulp*
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips (optional, but recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Break the bananas into chunks and place them in a large bowl. Use a fork to mash the bananas, then stir in the nut butter, maple syrup, baking powder, and salt.
- Once everything is well-combined, add in the ground flax and coconut flour; the batter will start to thicken at this point. Add the almond pulp mixture and mix really well until no more clumps remain – the dough will be really thick and fluffy! Finally, fold the chocolate chips into the dough.
- Use a cookie scoop or 3 tbsp measuring spoon to scoop out balls of cookie dough. Flatten them with your hands (they will not spread out in the oven) and place them evenly onto the baking tray.
- Bake in the middle rack of the oven for 20-22 minutes. Remove and let the cookies sit on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a baking rack to let cool. Store leftovers at room temperature in a loose-fitting container for up to 5 days.
Notes
- On Almond Pulp: try to get your almond pulp as dry as possible – if you have a scale, I would suggest going by weight. If you have a different nut pulp you can use that as well! Almond pulp is not the same thing as almond flour and does not work as a substitution. If you don’t have enough almond pulp after one batch, you can store it in your freezer and then thaw it once you have enough!
