  • 1 banana ripe
  • 1 egg
  • 60 grams maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • a pinch of salt
  • 100 grams oat flour or all purposes flour
  • 70 grams almond flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda optional
  • 3 tbsp chocolate chips optional

Healthy Frosting

  • 4 tbsp cream cheese low fat
  • 4 tbsp Greek yogurt nonfat
  • 2 to 3 tbsp powdered sweetener or powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • Preheat oven to 180°C (360°F).
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana and once smooth beat with the egg. Add the maple syrup, the oil, the vanilla extract, the ground cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Stir well, until all the wet ingredients come to form a smooth mixture.
  • Sift into the wet mixture the oat flour, the almond flour, the baking powder and the baking soda. Mix until you get a smooth banana bread cookie dough, then fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 20 minutes.
  • Scoop out some dough and shape the cookies. Line the Banana Bread Cookies over a parchment paper covered baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  • Bake in hot oven for 10 to 12 minutes - for soft and cakey Banana Bread Cookies, do not overbake. When they are ready, remove from the oven and let cool before serving or frosting.

Healthy Frosting

  • In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese with Greek yogurt, powdered sweetener (or powdered sugar) and vanilla extract. After mixing, use it right away or refrigerate until frosting.
  • Only before serving, top your (cooled) Banana Bread Cookies with the healthy frosting.
