Flourless Peanut Butter & Banana Cookies

Yes, flourless is not a word I know that!!! But I'm just way to excited of eating something that is actually healthy for me.  So I want to share the recipe and I actually found it on Instagram.

Ingredients
1 Ripe Banana
6 Tbs. Natural Peanut Butter
¼ Tsp. Cinnamon
¼ Tsp. Nutmeg

Procedure
1. With a for mix all the ingredients
2.  In a cookie pan spoon the mix in sets (I ended up with 7)
3.  Bake for 12 minutes at 350 Degrees
4.  Freeze

I will suggest keeping them frozen since they will tend to get smooth and I like eating them crunchy and cold. 

I really hope you enjoy!!!

Pumpkin Spice/Banana Mini Cake

Since we are in that time where it is all about pumpkin, I decided to try this healthy recipe, since I'm trying to loose weight for the upcoming Holidays.  This turned out to be delicious and surprisingly my hubs hates pumpkin and he totally loved it.  (I hid the pumpkin part after he ate it) lol.



Ingredients:

  1/2 tsp flax seed
  1 Tbsp water
  1 egg (for vegan, leave this out)
  2 Tbsp 100% pure pumpkin puree
  1/2 very ripe banana (ripeness makes a HUGE difference!)
  2 Tbsp pure maple syrup 
  1 Tbsp almond milk, unsweetened or regular
  1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
  1/4 cup almond flour
  1/4 tsp baking powder
  1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice + a little more if you love it like we do!
  A pinch of salt
  Butter, oil, or your preferred method to prevent sticking

Mix all the ingredients in a blender, I sprayed non-stick spray to a coffee mug, pour the mix. and microwave for approximately 5 minutes.  I divided my minutes I did 2.5 minutes checked it and then another 2.5 minutes and that would be it. 

It taste delicious and it's super healthy. 

Enjoy!!!
