1 1/2 cups almond, coconut or gluten free 1:1 flour from King Arthurs

2 tbs real maple syrup

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp baking soda

sprinkle of sea salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips or AIP friendly carob chips

DIRECTIONS

makes one dozen

Preheat oven to 350
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet
In a mixing bowl, gently mash the bananas - for best result, leave slightly lumpy
Combine all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, except the chocolate chips
Add bananas and maple syrup to the mixing bowl
Using a spatula, combine all ingredients until you have a batter
Tip: if you've got an excess of flour in your bowl, you can add a bit more maple syrup but be careful to not overdo it
Add chocolate chips, folding them in with the spatula
Scoop batter into 12 cookies on your baking sheet
Use your spatula to gently shape your beakies round on the mat, as they won't expand or change shape like a regular cookie
Pop in oven for 30 minutes
Remove from oven, let sit 10 minutes before moving to cooling rack
