Chocolate Chia Banana Cookies

These fudgy cookies are flour free, gluten free, vegan and require *no sweetener* cause guess what? They’re made of mostly ripe bananas! So if you’ve got a bunch of bananas on the counter that look past their snack-worthy prime, mash them up and mix them with a few pantry staples to make these healthy, antioxidant-rich desserts. 

1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Mix in the cocoa powder, almond butter, chia seeds and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
3. Using a spoon pour the batter onto the parchment paper.
4. Bake for 18-20 minutes until firm to the touch.
