1 - They are easy!
2 - They are tasty!
3 - They are Vegan as well as Paleo! I know a few people who are Vegan and it can be a little tricky trying to find something that is good that everyone can enjoy! But these do the trick!
They are called "Cakies" because they are much lighter and more fluffy in texture. I only had almond "meal" on hand for these. It is a little more coarse than almond flour. It tastes just the same...just makes the texture a little different.
Here is where I found the recipe: http://www.multiplydelicious.com/thefood/2011/09/paleo-banana-chocolate-chip-cakies/
Banana Chocolate Chip “Cakies”
1 cup mashed ripe bananas, about 1 large banana2 tablespoons creamy almond butter
1 tablespoons apple butter (optional)* (Sometimes I just use Apple Sauce)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of Salt
1 ¼ cup almond flour
¼ cup Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips (gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free – delicious)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
With a hand mixer, blend together the banana, almond butter, apple butter, vanilla extract, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add in almond flour and chocolate chips and stir to combine.
Using a 1 ½” ice cream scoop, scoop dough into even scoops and place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 11-14 minutes or until cookies are slightly golden on top. (I cooked mine quite a bit longer...hence the very golden on top!) Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before removing from pan. Again, these are soft so if you remove too soon you’ll have a soft cookie crumb mess.
