Almond Butter Banana Heart Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 Bananas
- ⅓ cup Almond Butter
- 1 tbsp Coconut Oil (melted)
- 3 tbsp Raw Honey
- 1½ cup Oats
- 1 cup Strawberries (sliced into heart shapes)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF (177ºC). Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease with some coconut oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed bananas, almond butter, egg, coconut oil and honey. Mix well. Then add oats and mix again. (Note: Depending on how much mixing you do, the mixture may get slightly runny. Add extra oats to thicken it up if needed.)
- If you have one, use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to form heart-shaped cookies on the baking sheet. If you don't have a cookie cutter, simply use your hands to roll the dough into balls and then flatten the ball into a cookie in between your palms. Gently press a heart-shaped strawberry slice into the top of every cookie.
- Bake in the oven for 15 to 25 minutes depending on how crunchy you like your cookies. Remove from oven and let cool before lifting. Enjoy!
