I am LOVING this recipe, you guys.
ok, ok… I know I say that every time… but this one is SO GOOD! 8 ingredients. not ONE of them is sugar! (as long as you don’t count the dark chocolate chips. or the optional sucanat topping. 😉). Rich & moist, yet actually healthy???? I must be dreaming. This recipe might require a trip to your nearest Whole Foods if you don’t already have these ingredients on hand, but man is it worth it. Bananas, coconut, & chocolate. What’s not to love?!
Let’s make a pros & cons list for whether or not you should make these.
Pros:
Easy to follow recipe (aka your kid can help!)
Zero added sugar
BLW & toddler friendly
nut free! (coconuts aren’t actually nuts 😉)
Cons:
they disappear fast
almost too delicious???
uhhh…..
that’s it.
To make these yourself, you’ll need half an hour and:
2 ripe bananas
1 egg
1 drop young living thieves vitality
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cup coconut manna (Get it here)
1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/3 cup young living einkorn flour
1/4-1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (I like Enjoy Life’s Mini Dark Morsels!)
optional: organic sucanat for sprinkling on top
Directions:
preheat oven to 350 & grease a cookie sheet or a mini muffin pan (yep— you can use either)
in a medium sized glass or ceramic bowl, completely mash the bananas
stir in the egg & 1 drop of thieves vitality
add the rest of the ingredients & stir until well combined
using a cookie scoop or 1 tbsp measuring spoon, scoop mixture into the greased pan
if using sucanat, pinch a bit onto each cookie before putting in the oven
bake for 12-14 mins or until a toothpick comes out clean
store in an airtight container on the counter for 3 days or in the fridge for 5
ENJOY
