Ingredients
  • 4 medjool dates (large, organic, pitted)
  • 1 cup water (Hot water to soak your dates in. The water does NOT go in your cookies. You will drain the water from the dates afterwards.)
  • 1 banana (large, organic & ripe)
  • 1 cup almond flour (organic, fine)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (organic, ground)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2
    Soak the dates: Place your dates in a small bowl and cover with hot water. Let them soak for 10 minutes to soften, then drain.
  3. 3
    Mash the base: In a mixing bowl, mash the banana and softened dates together until well combined. You can use a fork or a handheld masher.
  4. 4
    Add the dry ingredients: Stir in the almond flour, cinnamon, and salt until a sticky, uniform dough forms.
  5. 5
    Shape the cookies: Scoop out about a tablespoon of dough at a time and roll into 9 balls. Place them on your prepared baking sheet.
  6. 6
    Flatten: Gently press down on each dough ball with a fork to flatten them slightly.
  7. 7
    Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just set and lightly golden.
