Ingredients:
- 1 cup of sesame seeds (about 130 grams)
- 1 cup of pumpkin seeds (about 130 grams)
- Just over 1/2 cup of mashed banana (about 140 grams)
- A small pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Start with the Oven: First things first, heat your oven up to 180°C (350°F). This gets it ready for baking your delicious cookies.
- Mix Your Ingredients: Grab a large bowl and pour in your sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, and the mashed banana. This combo might seem simple, but it’s going to make something really tasty.
- Season the Mix: Throw in that pinch of salt into the bowl. It’s just a tiny bit, but it’s going to help bring out all the yummy flavors.
- Prepare for Baking: Take out a baking sheet and line it with some parchment paper. This helps make sure your cookies don’t stick. Now, spread your seed and banana mixture onto the sheet. You can shape it a bit if you like, or just leave it natural and rustic.
- Bake Time: Slide your baking sheet into the oven, ideally on the lower rack so everything bakes evenly. Let it bake for about 15-20 minutes. You’re looking for a nice golden brown color to know it’s done.
- Cool Down: Once you take them out of the oven, let your cookies cool down a bit. They might be tempting to eat right away, but giving them a minute helps them set and become even more delicious.
And there you have it! These Banana Seed Cookies are not just easy to make but are a healthier option when you’re craving something sweet. They’re gluten-free, packed with nutrients from the seeds, and naturally sweetened with banana. Perfect for a guilt-free snack anytime!
