these cookies are made with almond butter and banana and loaded with refined sugar free chocolate chips, for a sweet treat that’s still on the healthier side!
These cookies are my latest obsession, if only the Just Date chocolate chips weren’t so expensive (but it’s amazing to have a refined sugar free chocolate chip option, beyond Hu Kitchen). If you want to make these SCD compliant, you could either omit the chocolate chips or swap them for raisins, which I often did when making strict SCD treats. Nowadays I will definitely enjoy my (refined sugar free) dark chocolate though.
That being said, these cookies are lightly banana and almond butter flavoured, and they’re the perfect bendy and chewy consistency. I like to keep them on the flatter side so they are not too thick of a cookie.
And who says you can’t eat chocolate for breakfast? Because I was definitely eating these cookies with my morning coffee, and then again with my afternoon coffee. And then again after dinner. Yeah, they’re really good. I also love how easy they are to throw together, the recipe calls for 9 ingredients total which includes things like salt, the chocolate chips (duh) and egg. So really, it’s like, 6 ingredients. Girl math.
These recipes are an easy addition to my favourite dessert rotation, and hopefully they’ll be added into yours as well! Find some more cookie ideas below and grab the recipe. Follow me on IG @grainfreee and let me know if you make these.
