These tender, wholesome cookies are made in 1 bowl and require just 30 minutes to prepare. Let’s bake! These cookies begin with a flax egg, made by adding flaxseed meal and water to a mixing bowl and letting it sit to achieve an “eggy” texture. Banana acts as another binder while lending natural sweetness and mild banana flavor to the cookies. P.S. If you’re new to plant-based or egg-free baking, check out our Beginner’s Guide to Plant-Based Baked Goods for tons of tips, methods, and recipes for getting perfect baked goods every time. Almond butter takes the place of some of the oil in this recipe, providing protein, fiber, magnesium, and all sorts of other good nutrients. A small amount of coconut oil or non-dairy butter gives these cookies a touch of crispiness on the edges. Next come the cookie classics: brown sugar and vanilla for deliciousness, baking soda and baking powder for fluffiness, and sea salt to enhance all the flavors. Swoon! These cookies are made without any refined flours. We used wholesome oat flour and almond meal to keep these cookies on the healthier side. But don’t you worry — the health factor is undetectable. Lastly, these cookies are studded with mini chocolate chips to give each bite a satisfying chocolate flavor. Banana + almond butter + chocolate = dreamy. We hope you ENJOY these cookies!
