  • 2 medium bananas, mashed well (about ⅔ cup mashed)
  • ¼ cup creamy raw almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons Grade B maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (67 grams) brown rice flour (see note above for non-gluten-free if you don't have brown rice flour)

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, almond butter, maple syrup, flaxseed, and vanilla to combine. In a large bowl, combine the brown rice flour, shredded coconut, walnuts, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the banana mixture to combine. Stir in the cacao nibs.
