These super simple and sugar-free cookies with mashed banana, coconut and walnuts are a delicious snack or dessert. Just 3 ingredients, they're vegan, whole food plant-based, gluten-free, requiring no flour, no egg and no oil.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Peel and mash bananas in a medium bowl with a potato masher or fork. Make sure they are well-mashed, with only small chunks remaining.
2 ripe bananas
Add coconut and walnuts and stir everything together well.
1 ¼ cups coconut flakes, ¼ cup walnuts
Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. (Cookies will stick if you skip this step).
Drop spoonfuls of batter onto baking tray and then shape with your fingers. Cookies do not spread out while baking, so shape them into the width and height you want them to be. This recipe will make about 16-18 small, 2-inch wide cookies.
Bake cookies for 20 minutes, until coconut is very lightly browned on the tips and the cookies feel firm to the touch.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before enjoying.
