AIP Banana Snack Cookies
This is one of my weekly go to recipes for meal prep. I love these cookies because they are super easy to make, naturally sweetened, and packed with nutrients and healthy fats. This easy AIP snack is delicious and only takes a few minutes to prep and bake.
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 2 tablespoons of coconut butter (or nut butter if reintroduced)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup coconut
Instructions
- Start by mashing your banana in a mixing bowl with a fork. Mash until smooth.
- Next add honey, cinnamon, salt and coconut butter. Mix until well incorporated.
- Finally add the coconut to the banana mixture. You may need to add a little more depending on the size of your banana. Mix until the coconut is well coated by the banana mixture.
- Next scoop the batter onto a cookie sheet and form into cookies. These will not spread or change so make sure you are satisfied with the shape before you put it into the oven. You should have enough batter to make about 9 cookies.
- Put the cookies in the oven and bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes. Cookies will be done when they begin to get brown and toasted around the edges.
Notes
Use a very ripe banana. Since banana sizes vary you may need to use a little more or a little less coconut for the cookies to be solid enough to bake.
Use finely shredded coconut in this recipe. If the pieces are too big, the cookie won’t hold together as well. So, the smaller the pieces of coconut are the better!
You can use toasted coconut butter instead of coconut butter or other nut butters if you have reintroduced them into your diet.
