Ingredients
  

  • 3 pieces ripe bananas mashed
  • 1 cup creamy almond butter well-stirred
  • 2 cups mixed raw nuts (such as walnuts, almonds, and pecans)
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowl
  • Fork
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure your cookies bake evenly and come out perfectly golden.
  2. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. This step is crucial as it prevents your cookies from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork until smooth. They should be free of lumps for the best texture in your cookies.
  4. Add the creamy almond butter to the mashed bananas. Stir until the mixture is well combined. This should create a creamy and thick batter.
  5. Now, fold in the mixed raw nuts, chocolate chips, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Make sure everything is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  6. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them as ovens may vary.
  8. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious 3-Ingredient Nutty Banana Cookies!

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
  • For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
  • Swap almond butter with peanut butter or sunflower seed butter for variations.
