Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/2 cup crushed walnuts
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1/8 tsp salt

Wet ingredients

1/4 cup oat milk
1 large ripe banana
1 tsp vanilla extract

For rolling

3/4 - 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven at 350-degree Fahrenheit and prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl combine all the dry ingredients and mix it well with a spoon.
In a blender combine all the wet ingredients and blend it smooth.
Now, fold in wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and form a dough like soft batter.
With the help of a medium sized cookie scoop place the cookies on the prepared cookie sheet. (Do not over pack your cookie scoop). Now, take each cookie ball between your palms and gently shape them round without breaking. Place them again on the cookie sheet. Bake it in the middle rack of the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cookies dries up at the top and the bottom becomes brownish. Turn it off and bring it out. Place it on a flat surface and let it cool down for 5-10 minutes. (Do not overbake).
Now, take the powdered sugar for rolling in a bowl and roll each cookie generously in it without breaking the cookies. Place the cookies on a flat surface and let it cool down further to room temperature.
Enjoy immediately or store for later use.

Notes

For storing: Store these cookies at room temperature for a day in an air tight container or freeze them for a month in a freezer bag. Simply thaw them to room temperature by placing them outside the freezer on a counter. You may also refrigerate them for a month without rolling in sugar. When ready to serve just bring them to room temperature and roll in powdered sugar, enjoy.
The banana should be ripe but not over ripe or else the cookie will have a strong taste of banana.
This recipe makes 12 cookies and the serving size is 1 cookie per person.
