  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Preheat

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine:

  • Almond butter
  • Mashed banana
  • Applesauce

Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Add Chocolate Chips

Fold in the dark chocolate chips gently.

Step 5: Shape Cookies

Scoop about 1–2 tablespoons of dough and place onto the baking sheet.
Flatten slightly with a spoon or your fingers (they don’t spread much).

🔥 Methods & Tips

  • For softer cookies: Slightly underbake them (10 minutes).
  • For firmer cookies: Bake a bit longer (12–14 minutes).
  • No almond butter? Use peanut butter or cashew butter.
  • Add-ins: Nuts, raisins, coconut flakes, or seeds work great.
  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for longer.
