Coconut/banana cookies

These little cookies are grain & gluten free, but so good! The recipe that follows is my second try at making these. The first try tasted great, but the texture wasn't right... so I went back to the drawing board, added a few things and viola! A significant improvement! Try them and let me know what you think :)

What you need
  • 1/3 cup coconut flour
  • 2 tbsp almond flour
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed 
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp non sweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp hemp hearts
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • Unsweetened shredded coconut, for rolling
How to
  • Pre heat oven to 375 degrees
  • Combine wet ingredients well and add to the dry ingredients. Mix well
  • Create little balls with the dough and roll in the shredded coconut
  • Place on a cookie sheet and flatten with your fingertips
  • Bake for ~10-12 minutes

Even when the texture wasn't "quite right", they were delicious! I can only imagine what these little morsels will taste like! YUM!
