Sometimes you just need something sweet – right?! And in those moments, you want that sweet something fast! You know I’m right. That’s how I came up with this quick little recipe. In a moment of total sweet tooth desperation I threw these ingredients together and discovered the most delectable little morsels that take just 20 minutes from preparation to hot from the oven. Awww yeah, that’s what I’m talking about!
The Directions:
2 bananas mashed
3/4 cup of almond meal/flour (I like Bob’s Red Mill.)
1/4 of a bag of Chatfield’s double dark semi-sweet chips (these are dairy, nut and soy free)
a dash of cinnamon (I don’t like measuring unless I have to)
a splash of vanilla
The prep work takes about 5 minutes.
Set your oven to 350 and scoop the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This recipe makes about 12 cookies. Bake them for about 15 minutes (they’ll be slightly brown on top). They’re best when eaten while they’re still warm!
They have a bit more of a muffin type consistency than a typical chocolate chip cookie. I think that’s one of the reasons I love them so much. They really are a nice little treat that I never feel guilty about indulging in, and I love how super fast they are to make.
They are a great paleo treat – gluten free, grain free, dairy free and they’re also egg free!
Thank you all so much for your encouragement and support of my paleo journey! So many of you had questions and wanted to learn more about the paleo life. I’m planning to put together a Q & A post, so if there’s anything you want to ask leave your question in the comments section of this post.
For another paleo treat – try this brownie pie!
My husband is on the paleo journey as well but has an incredible sweet tooth. I make him this chocolate chip cookie recipe a good bit and he LOVES it.
