Ingredients (makes 5 – 8 cookies depending on how thick you like them)
- 4-5 mashed ripe bananas (1 1/2 cups)
- 120g nut butter (almond or peanut works best (1/2 cup)
- 50g cocoa powder (2 tablespoons)
- 50g sugar (2 tablespoons)
- 50g chocolate chunks
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180C. and line a tray with baking paper.
- Mix all the ingredients (leaving some of the chocolate chunk) until smooth.
- Using a spoon (the mixture will be very runny), drop chunks of the dough onto the tray.
- Top the mounds with the remaining chocolate chunks and bake for 12 minutes.
- Remove and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes.
- And you’re done! 5 ingredient, vegan and gluten free chocolate cookies!
