When your energy or focus is fading, or you simply crave a really nourishing snack, these 3 ingredient cookies are a perfect bite to reach for.
Made with banana, nut butter and gf ‘muesli’ (that term is very versatile) makes them gluten free, dairy free, eggs free and sugar free!
I recommend using nut butter, such as almond, cashew, brazil or macadamia instead of peanut butter purely for the nutrition benefits. You’ll get more protein, fibre, vitamin E and minerals that powers your body & mind. But if you’re a big peanut butter fan, that is also an option to use.
With any store-bought nut butter, please check your ingredients to make sure you’re using 100% nuts with no added sugars, preservative or additives.
If you don’t have a favourite, healthy ‘muesli’ on hand, the recipe works really well to substitute it with basic oats, or a homemade mix such as seeds, coconut and I love adding crunchy, protein-rich buckinis (gf buckwheat granules) too.
