Ingredients
- 3 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter room temperature, optional coconut oil
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 egg large, beaten
- 1 egg white large
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
- 1 banana overly ripe, mashed (1/2 cup)
- 1 cup coconut finely shredded, unsweetened
- 1 cup walnut pieces
Instructions
- Whisk together in a medium bowl, almond flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add walnuts and coconut, and stir into flour mixture.
- In a medium mixing bowl, using a beater, cream together butter and coconut sugar. Add egg, egg white, and vanilla, mixing until combined. Add mashed banana and stir until combined.
- Add flour mixture to wet ingredients and stir just until incorporated. Cover and refrigerate 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Using a 1-1/2 inch cookie or ice cream scoop, drop dough 2-inches apart on a large, parchment-lined, cookie sheet. Bake 8 minutes and rotate cookie sheet. Bake an additional 8 minutes, or until golden and just set. Allow cookies to cool 5 minutes while still on the cookie sheet. Move cookies to a wire rack and cool completely. Continue baking cookies until all dough is used.
- Store in an airtight container up to two days. If desired, add 1 cup Paleo friendly chocolate chips when adding the walnuts.
