Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 medium Ripe banana (mashed)
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.33 cups Dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups Optional: chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick dough forms.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts, if using.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop small mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each mound slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingertips.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your healthy chewy fudge drop cookies as an indulgent snack or dessert!
