These Banana Bread Macaroons are the BOMB! (I doubled everything listed below so I could make in bulk):
2 bananas (very ripe, mashed until creamy)
2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut (finely)
4 teaspoons coconut flour
1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
1/4 cup sugar free maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix everything together.
- Form into tablespoon-size balls and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool COMPLETELY until removing from the baking sheet, otherwise they will crumble.
I like storing these in the freezer and eating them from straight from the freezer. But you could eat them at room temperature. Find what you prefer!
