Peanut Butter Banana Cookies

Adapted from Soy Free Vegan

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1 ripe banana, mashed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• unsweetened coconut

METHOD:

• Mix flour, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl
• Combine peanut butter, maple syrup, banana, vanilla and cinnamon in a food processor
• Mix the wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients until just blended
• Form 1 inch balls of dough, dip in coconut, place on greased cookie sheet and flatten with a fork
• Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or until edges start to turn brown

NOTES:
Add 1/4 cup brown sugar for sweeter cookies but I find them sweet enough with just the maple syrup.
