Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas mashed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- ⅓ cup unsweetened toasted coconut

- 1-2 teaspoons Sweet N Low or honey optional and my own addition, I felt the cookies needed to be a bit sweeter
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare two cookie sheets and line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, vanilla and oil.
- In a separate bowl, combine the oatmeal, almond flour, coconut, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and Sweet N Low/honey, if using. Whisk together, then add the dry ingredients to the wet. Mix till thoroughly combined, then fold in chocolate chips.
- Using a tablespoon cookie scoop, place the cookies about an inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
