I wanted to keep this paleo banana cookie recipe as simple as possible, using as few ingredients as I could.  I think I rose up to the challenge if I do say so myself.  Here’s what you’ll need to make these dairy free banana bread cookies – which, by the way, are vegan, gluten free, AND paleo!

Tips For Making Banana Cookies

• Don’t mash the bananas to death – keep a little texture in them!
• Always measure the mashed bananas with measuring cups.  Don’t just guess by the size of the banana.
• Ovens vary.  Keep an eye on them and take them out when the tops are golden brown and your kitchen smells like banana bread!
• They will continue to set up as they cool, so for the best texture, let them come to room temperature.
• I personally like the recipe as written, but listed a few optional add-ins for people wanting more flavor.  Also, my readers have added some yummy things with great success – so be sure to read the comments for more ideas!
