Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe banana
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons erythritol or granulated sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and erythritol (or sugar substitute) to the bowl and whisk until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until a dough forms. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky.
Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie lightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your low-carb, low-calorie banana walnut cookies immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
