Chunky Monkey Paleo Banana Cookies

Technically you can eat these for breakfast, so I am totally passing this as a meal prep recipe. These turned out so delicious and are probably my new favorite paleo cookie! I typically just enjoy the classic chocolate chip, but the walnut, coconut, raisin, banana, and dark chocolate combo is on point. Not to mention this was an extremely easy recipe to whip up and the ingredients are simple. These made about 18 cookies for me and took the full 18 minutes, which I might even stretch to 20 next time. I took most of these to a friends house to enjoy, and the rest didn't make it to the next day. Will definitely be making these many more times! 

Chunky Monkey Paleo Banana Cookies
Ingredients:

• 2 medium ripe bananas, sliced (+ slices for topping, optional)
• 1/2 cup almond butter (can sub peanut butter if not paleo)
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/4 cup coconut
• 1/4 cup raisins

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Add the banana slices, almond butter, water, and vanilla to a large bowl and beat with electric beaters until mostly smooth. Add the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt and beat until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips, walnuts, coconut, and raisins.
3. Drop the dough (it will be sticky) into 12 equal mounds on the baking sheets. Press a banana slice into the top of each cookie to flatten it out a little.
4. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden then remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool.
