I love a good, warm slice of banana bread.

But sometimes you don't feel like making an entire loaf. That's where these cookies come in. They take little effort to make and little time to bake; a great way to get your banana bread fix in a jiffy!

The night I came up with these cookies, I was desperate for a sweet treat. The only problem was that I didn't have enough almond butter to make Paleo Maple Almond Butter Cookies, no lemon for Paleo Lemon Cookies, and I didn't have any chocolate chips to go the chocolate chip cookie route. However, I did have multiple ripe bananas. 

I was forced to create little disks of banana bread heaven. So I got to work mashing some banana, adding a little of this and a little of that until I felt like the mixture had reached cookie dough consistency. After some coconut flour, flax seed meal, and various other flavor makers, a solid dough was formed.

Banana Bread Cookies really do taste just like a bite of banana bread! Warm and bread like in texture, these cookies will be the perfect sweet tooth satisfier. I love making them in a pinch and they really hit the spot. To get started making these, read below!
