Looking for a quick, healthy treat that’s naturally sweet, gluten-free, and super easy to make? These 3-ingredient cookies are perfect! Made with just banana, seeds, and a touch of spice (optional), they’re ideal for anyone avoiding flour and sugar — and they come together in just 5 minutes of prep.
🍪 Ingredients (Makes 6–8 small cookies):
- 1 ripe banana
- 4 tablespoons mixed seeds (e.g., sunflower, pumpkin, sesame, chia, or flax)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Mash the Banana:
In a bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. - Add the Seeds:
Stir in the mixed seeds and cinnamon (if using) until fully combined. The mixture should be thick enough to hold its shape. - Form the Cookies:
Scoop small spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten them gently with the back of a spoon. - Bake or Pan-Cook (Your Choice!):
- Oven: Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
- Stovetop (no oven): Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, lightly grease, and cook each cookie for 2–3 minutes per side until golden.
- Cool & Enjoy:
Let the cookies cool slightly before eating — they’ll firm up as they cool!
