Notes
- Use bananas that are spotted but not overripe for the best results.
- If your batter is too loose or wet you can add in a tbsp of coconut flour or add more almond flour a tbsp at a time until it thickens up.
- You can add a tbsp of maple syrup for a touch more sweetness.
- These cookies are soft and borderline fudgy right out of the oven. Since they are an ideal breakfast, you can reheat them by toasting them in a toaster oven and they will develop a nice crispy exterior (note: do not put these in your regular toaster)
- To make the drizzle shown in the picture, finely blend raw cane sugar until it is a fine powder and add to it a few drops of vanilla extract and water until a thick glaze consistency is achieved. Or, drizzle your cookies with a simple Butterscotch Sauce.
- You can also add any chopped nuts, dark chocolate, or dried fruit of your choice to the batter to make your own unique variation.
