Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 12 large cookies

Ingredients  

  • 1/2 cup mashed banana (roughly 1 banana)
  • 1/2 cup creamy all natural peanut butter
  • 1 large egg (sub flax egg to make vegan)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (not pancake syrup)
  • 2 cups almond flour (may sub oat flour but texture will differ)
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/4 cup ground flax
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup dairy free chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add in peanut butter, mashed banana, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and the egg or flax egg. Whisk for 30-40 second or until ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Then, add in the almond flour, oats, baking soda and ground flax. Mix with a rubber spatula until you have a sticky dough.
  • Fold in the dairy free chocolate chips last and mix until well incorporated.
  • Use a double cookie scoop and roll dough into a ball with the palm of your hands. Add to the baking sheet and flatten slightly to help spread during baking time.
  • Add on more chocolate chips before baking if desired and bake for 10-12 minutes. (10-12 minutes for a soft and chewy cookie, or 14-15 minutes for a crunchy cookie).
  • Remove from oven and let cool for about 5-10 minutes before enjoying.

Notes

  • Mix together wet ingredients fully before adding in dry.
  • Use a peanut butter where the only ingredient is peanuts, I prefer the one from Trader Joe's.
  • These cookies won't spread a ton during baking, so it's important to flatten them slightly before baking to help them spread.
  • Add on a couple more chocolate chips to the tops of your cookies before baking if desired.
  • Bake for 10-11 minutes for a soft and chewy cookie, or extend to 14-15 minutes for a more crunchy texture.
