Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 medium very ripe banana
- 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter (made with just peanuts and salt)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
- Add all ingredients to a food processor (I love this mini food processor!) and blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
- Scoop the dough by the tablespoon onto the prepared baking sheet. Use wet hands to flatten into cookie shapes (the cookies will not spread in the oven).
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until set. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet before removing.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freezer for up to 3 months.
- You can swap the peanut butter with another natural nut butter, such as almond butter.
- You can leave out the baking powder if you don't want to use it. The cookies will be a little more flat and dense.
- Have extra eggs? Add an egg to the batter for more protein!
- Because these cookies are baby friendly and have no added sugar, they are not super sweet. If you're making them for older children, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of sweetener, such as brown sugar or maple syrup, or stir in a few mini chocolate chips before shaping the cookies.
