Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3/4 cup apple purée (or 2 ripe bananas, about 1 cup mashed)
- 2 tablespoons honey (or agave syrup)
- 2 1/2 cups almond flour (preferably blanched)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the apple purée (or mashed bananas) with the honey, stirring well to combine the natural sweetness with the fruit base.
- Add almond flour: Gradually stir in the almond flour until the mixture forms a thick, cookie-like batter.
- Shape cookies: Using your hands or a spoon, roll the dough into 18 small, evenly sized balls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 1 to 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops turn a light golden brown.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet before enjoying.
Notes
- For a vegan option, substitute honey with agave syrup.
- Make sure to use blanched almond flour for a finer texture.
- Allow cookies to cool fully as they firm up on cooling.
- Keep cookies stored in an airtight container to preserve freshness.
