Healthy Peanut Butter Banana Cookies ?

Healthy cookies have become a bit of an obsession for me. I need them for my kids to snack on. You moms know what I mean. It has nothing to do with my own snacking tendencies (obviously).  
I’ve also been working on doing more egg-free cooking to accommodate my husband’s allergies. It can be tough sometimes, but lucky for us, bananas are an excellent substitute for eggs in some recipes – particularly cookies. 

We also just recently loaded up on coconut flour, so guess what? Yup, these puppies are grain-free too! Although if you want to, feel free to substitute another type of flour. However, you’ll probably find that you’ll need to use a larger quantity of a grain-based flour as coconut flour really soaks up the moisture, and you tend to not need as much.

It’s crazy how you can take healthy ingredients, mix them together and make them into something just as delicious, but not completely full of sugar and grain as their traditional counter parts. It makes you wonder why in the world we ever started down the baking path of bleached white flour. 
Then again, I guess white flour has it’s place (I’m thinking paper mâché glue, and crusty, chewy artisan bread a genius baker brings to the farmer’s market). 

But right here and now, I’m really happy to have a healthy cookie recipe to share with you. Your kids will love you for making these! And by my calculations, the entire batch contains only 389 calories, so you won’t fill terribly full and bloated after eating the, Score!
