Gluten-Free Banana Cookies

Ingredients:

  • 3 ripe bananas

  4. Add to the fridge to set for 30 minutes (don’t skip this step!).
  5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and bake the cookies for 20 minutes.

Tips to Make The BEST Healthy

Gluten-Free Banana Cookies

  • Make sure your bananas are very ripe for the best sweetness and flavor.
  • If you prefer a different nut butter, feel free to swap it out for almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
  • Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor even more.

Variation

You can change the mix-ins to your preference! Try adding dried cranberries, coconut flakes, or different types of nuts.

FAQs

1. Can I use a different sweetener instead of bananas?
Yes, you can use applesauce or another mashed fruit, but it’s best to stick with something that has a similar consistency.

2. Are these cookies vegan?
Yes, they are vegan since they use non-dairy milk and no eggs.

3. Can I make these cookies without peanut butter?
Absolutely! You can use any nut or seed butter like almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
