2 Ingredient Coconut Banana Cookies Food

2-INGREDIENT BANANA COCONUT COOKIES | HEALTHY SNACK RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicon liner.
• Add bananas to a bowl and mash with a fork until smooth (no lumps). One of my tricks to getting things extra creamy and smooth is to use a handheld immersion blender (see recipe video).
• Once banana is mashed and smooth, add the shredded coconut. Mix with a fork then use your hands to make sure the coconut is fully incorporated into the banana. **Add a pinch of sea salt (optional).
• Separate mixture into 8 equal parts. Roll the mixture into a tight ball then flatten into a cookie shape (about 1/2 inch thick) and place onto the baking sheet. Repeat this process until you've formed 8 cookies.
• Bake cookies for 20-25 minutes or until tops are golden. **It took mine exactly 22 minutes. Once done, transfer cookies to a cooling rack and let cool completely before serving. ENJOY!!
