These cookies are to die for! You can add whatever ingredients you want to make the perfect cookies you're in the mood for using this dough as a base. I made chocolate chip cookies and I have a few suggested optional ingredients listed below, but there are soooooo many possibilities!
If you haven't tried almond flour yet, you're seriously missing out! You can make so many delicious desserts and even savory entrees using it. I've been on a quest to create healthy but delicious recipes that don't contain any added sugar or refined carbohydrates in order to keep my diet as natural and healthy as possible. It's not as difficult to eat well now as it was a few years ago with all the white flour and sugar alternatives readily available for very affordable prices at most grocery stores; plus it's a small price to pay for better health!
Main Ingredients
1 cup almond flour
3/4 cup steel cut oats
1 ripe banana
1 egg
1/2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp coconut oil
2-3 tablespoons chocolate chips
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1/4 cup walnuts or pecans
1/4 cup raisins or cranberries
Shredded carrots or zucchini for veggie nutrients without the taste
Raw cane sugar, Stevia, honey, maple syrup, or dried medjool dates for extra sweetness
(I adde Stevia and chocolate chips to mine)

Preheat your oven to 350F.
Mash the banana with a fork in a medium sized bowl and combine the rest of the ingredients. The batter should be firm enough to hold it's shape and stick to a spoon. Depending on the optional ingredients you use, you may need to add more or less dry ingredients, but these ratios worked perfectly for me. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons per cookie onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-15 minutes until the middle is set and the edges are golden brown.
Yields 1 dozen cookies.
