Paleo Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yum. These little gems are addictive. They are so good warm and gooey from the oven. They store ok, but due to the high moisture content they get mushy. Still yummy, just a different texture. So you may want to halve the recipe and make it on two separate occasions. Now that I look at the recipe I think it may be Vegan too. Not my intention but hey, it works. :)




Paleo Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

4 ripe bananas
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup maple sugar (if you use syrup you may have to adjust the amount of almond flour)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cinnamon
3 cups almond flour
1.5 tbsp coconut flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2-3/4 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks (make sure it's dairy free)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large mixing bowl mash bananas until only small chunks remain. Add coconut oil (not melted) and maple sugar. Mix until well combined. Add vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon. Stir to combine. Add almond flour, coconut flour and baking soda. Mix until fully combined. Gently fold in chocolate chips. Drop teaspoon size balls on to parchment lined cookie sheet (smoosh them down with the back of a spoon if desired). Bake for 15-18 minutes or until just turning golden brown. Allow to cool on sheets for 2-4 minutes then remove and cool on racks. Serve and enjoy!!
