• 2tsp vanilla extract

• 1tsp baking powder
• *Optional 1-2tsp ginger powder for ginger spiced cookie

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180°C & line a baking tray.
2. In a mixing bowl (or food processor) mash/blend bananas + vanilla + coconut oil.
3. Add in all dry ingredients; collagen, coco flour, cinnamon, baking powder, & optional ginger. Mix together well.
4. Ball out your cookie mixture with a spoon or small ice cream scoop & roll into balls onto your baking tray.
5. Take a small tap of almond butter (better if it’s on the dryer side), place into centre of your ball until covered, then flatten into cookie shape until all cookies are done. Use a fork to create the pattern on top or leave plain.
6. Baking time: 15 mins (until golden brown all over). Let sit aside until cooled to transfer onto cooling wire. Whilst hot, they may fall apart slightly, once cooled will hold together better.
