Angie's Protein Banana Coconut Break-The-Fast Cookies
(SIBO Friendly, low fodmap, gluten free)
Last year it was muffins galore! This year it’s protein cookies! But! These cookies were the most stress-free baking experience of my life! I kid you not. A banana and some shredded coconut, and I am enjoying amazing soft yummy cookies. They are just perfect for breakfast or a snack. No artificial ingredients, no sugar, no mess. I am in love - for real!
One thing we all need more of is cookies. Truly delicious cookies. Cookies that are a cinch to make. Cookies that will seriously satisfy a sweet tooth, but are healthy enough to eat for breakfast.
What inspired me to make these yummy low calorie and low carb cookies is I wanted to create another coconut flour cookie that has no added flours or commercial starches.
Even the hubs and kids, who can be quite picky about gluten-free treats, loved them. They’ve since become a go to snack when the days are rushed and they need a quick healthy snack on the way to practice!
