Ingredients
- 2 very over-ripe bananas - (about 1 cup mashed)
- ½ cup applesauce - (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- ½ cup pitted medjool dates - (make sure they are soft, if not, soak them in warm water for 15 mins. then drain before using)
- ⅓ cup coconut flour/almond flour/GF oatmeal - I like Bob's Red Mill for all of these
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup finely shredded unsweetened dried coconut
- ⅓ cup roughly chopped dried fruit without added sugar - (try a mix of any of your favorites like apples, raisins, cranberries, cherries, apricots, pineapple, mango, figs)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, puree the bananas, dates, applesauce, and coconut oil until it is a smooth paste.
- Add the coconut flour/almond flour/oatmeal, cinnamon, vanilla, baking soda, lemon juice/vinegar and blend until combined.
- Add the dried fruit and coconut & pulse a few times. Don’t run it long enough to puree the dried fruit, just enough to incorporate it.
- Spoon or scoop dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment. Shape them however you’d like. These cookies don’t spread, so make them the shape and size you want prior to baking.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes. They may already be dark in color, so if it is hard to tell if they have “browned,” just look for them to have some structure before taking them out of the oven. Let the cookies cool completely, before you gobble them up!
Notes
Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge or frozen for weeks.
