Almond Flour Banana Cookies

Vegan, Gluten Free, Passover Friendly!

These Cookes are great for toddlers! No sugar, no eggs, soft & tender.

I added Peanut Butter to these Almond Flour Banana Cookies but you can add Almond Butter or Seed Butter if you like. If you want a sweeter cookie add 2 tsp maple syrup. The ones in the recipe are not sweet at all which is exactly what I wanted to make for my grandson but they would benefit from a bit of maple syrup!

So simple & quick to make & these may become a favourite for everyone!\\

Preheat oven to 325f & line one baking sheet with parchment paper

  4. Now, add the almond flour & cinnamon. Mix until completely combined. This dough is soft & tender
