Ingredients

• 1 large ripe banana
• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
• 2 tablespoons erythritol or granulated sugar substitute
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Add the egg, vanilla extract, and erythritol (or sugar substitute) to the bowl and whisk until well combined.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until a dough forms. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie lightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy your low-carb, low-calorie banana walnut cookies immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
