Hey fellow yummy food lover!
This recipe was birthed through a desire to play around with my snickerdoodle recipe and get a little variety in my life - as well as experiment with using less maple syrup. ;)
This cookie tastes like a yummy banana nut bread. I’m pretty into it! It’s on the less sweet side (though sweet enough - I’m not into cardboard)… So, great to keep around as a snack or breakfast on the go. I’ll soon post an edit for more sweet tastebuds - for the moments when you really want a tasty treat! We have to honor our cravings in both situations, right? Let’s get to it!
What You’ll Need:
Large mixing bowl
Small mixing bowl
Whisk
Scraper
Cookie sheet
Parchment paper
Measuring cups and spoons
Dry Stuff:
3 Cups Almond Meal
3/4 Cup Tapioca Flour
3/4 Cup Hemp Hearts
1 Teaspoon Sea Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
2 Tablespoons Cinnamon
Wet Stuff:
2 Mashed bananas (Average size - Measured at about 1 Cup mashed)
1/2 Cup Organic (Real) Maple Syrup (room temperature or could cause drama with the coconut oil.
1 1/2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil (potential need to heat to room temperature/liquid form)
1 Tablespoon Vanilla
How To Do It:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Combine and whisk the dry stuff in the large mixing bowl.
Combine and whisk the wet stuff in the small mixing bowl.
Marry the wet and dry stuff into the big mixing bowl with a relatively no frills ceremony. Just some honest vows about love, nutrients, good health, cellular regeneration, and peace with food.
Mix well. Maybe even get the scraper involved.
The dough is made (congratulations!)- Now we make the cookies!
How To Do The Cookie Shaping:
Pour about 1/8 cup of coconut oil or olive oil in a small dish.
Use that oil to lube up your palms. The ingredients are married now, so it’s okay to talk about lube. ;) Keeping your palms oiled allows you to shape the dough without too much sticky mess. Trust me. I’m really smart and I know literally everything. (Just kidding.)
Roll balls about 1.5 inch in diameter
Press into the desired cookie thickness. I do this with my palms initially, and I give a few encouraging, shape-full pats once placed on the cookie sheet. Sort of like a prebaked attaboy. It’s all good energy that you’ll soon reabsorb in dining process.
Fill the tray.
Place carefully on the center rack of the preheated oven.
Set a timer for 14 minutes.
When the timer goes off, take the cookies out of the oven.
Let them cool for 120 long a$$ seconds.
Pick up the cookie you want to bite into the most.
Tell it you love it, and that you want to help it uplevel spiritually by becoming human cells.
Listen for it’s excitement.
Salivate. Blow on it. Flirt with it.
Take that bite. Maybe a small, teasing one at first.
Chew.
Taste.
Breathe.
Enjoy.
Love and light to you! I hope you enjoy this recipe! Please give it a share and a thumbs up if you do! :)
Enjoy the pictures below of my son Theo helping me mix the ingredients of this very batch!
This is what the dough looks like.
My little helper LOVES to bake and cook with us!
I asked how much he put in, and he was saying, “just a widdle bit!”
