Almond Butter and Banana Chocolate Bar Cookies
Nutrivore Score: 187
Ingredients
- 2 bananas large and overripe (ideally so ripe you are thinking about tossing them in the compost)
- 1/2 cup almond butter crunchy
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup coconut oil extra virgin, melted
- 1 cup almond meal (or blanched almond flour)
- 3 tablespoon coconut flour (measure after sifting)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips mini
Optional Topping
- 1 ounce dark chocolate
- 1 1/2 teaspoons butter or coconut oil or palm shortening (only use coconut oil if your interior temperature is less that 74F)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9″x13″ baking pan with coconut oil, palm shortening, lard or butter (or use a silicone pan and skip the greasing).
- Peel bananas and mash with a fork until mushy and smooth. Add eggs, coconut oil, almond butter, almond meal, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix thoroughly to form a batter. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into prepared baking sheet, and spread batter out evenly with a spatula or spoon.
- Bake for 17-18 minutes. Let cool. Cut into squares.
- If using the chocolate drizzle, simply melt chocolate and your chosen fat together. Use a spoon to drizzle over the top. Let the drizzle harden at room temperature or pop it in the fridge for faster setting (Tip: cut squares before drizzling, but you don’t have to).
