A cookie that is GOOD for you & DELISH!! Grain, dairy, & sugar free... YES PLEASE!! According to these specific ingredients, each cookie has about 5 grams of protein. Happy & healthy eating! 

Ingredients-

3 ripe bananas

1/4 cup coconut oil

2 tbsp of any nut butter you like (I used "Naturally More" peanut butter, it's my fave!)

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

pinch of salt

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp xanthum gum

1 tbsp chia seeds

3 tbsp hemp heart seeds

1 tbsp flax seeds

1/4 cup coconut flour

1/4 cup almond flour

1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder

1 tbsp granulated stevia or truvia- use your preference sweetener (use more or less depending on sweetness of bananas)

2 scoops or 1/2 cup soy protein powder- if you don't mind a small amount of dairy you can use a whey protein & make it chocolate! 

1/3 cup chopped walnuts- optional, if you don't like walnuts leave them out, or use another nut 

Directions-

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

In a mixing bowl beat coconut oil and peanut butter until creamy. Add bananas and mix well to mash them. Beat in eggs & vanilla.  Slowly  mix in all other ingredients except walnuts. Beat until smooth. Fold in walnuts.

Drop tablespoon size of cookie dough onto greased cookie sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes. 

* I like the texture of the combination of seeds in my cookies but they are not all necessary. This is a recipe that you can play with and adjust to your health needs. Happy & Healthy Baking!!
