- 2 eggs beaten
- 2 medium banana mashed
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup gluten-free oats
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 teaspoons tapioca flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup walnut pieces
- 1/2 cup chocolate chunks semi-sweet or dark
Preheat the oven to 350* F and lightly grease a cookie sheet.
Add the eggs, mashed banana, syrup, vanilla and almond extract to a large bowl and combine well.
To the same bowl add the oats, almond flour, tapioca flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt and stir to combine well.
Fold the walnuts and chocolate chunks into the batter.
Spoon about 1 & 1/2 tablespoons of the batter onto the parchment paper and bake for 13-14 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned on the edges. The batter will look loose but don't worry, the cookies will hold their shape!

- Make sure you use ripe bananas for this recipe. You can
