Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 Ripe Bananas (with spots)
1 1/3 C. Unsweetened Shredded Coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicon liner.
  • Add bananas to a bowl and mash with a fork until smooth (no lumps). One of my tricks to getting things extra creamy and smooth is to use a handheld immersion blender (see recipe video).
  • Once banana is mashed and smooth, add the shredded coconut. Mix with a fork then use your hands to make sure the coconut is fully incorporated into the banana. **Add a pinch of sea salt (optional).
  • Separate mixture into 8 equal parts. Roll the mixture into a tight ball then flatten into a cookie shape (about 1/2 inch thick) and place onto the baking sheet. Repeat this process until you've formed 8 cookies.
  • Bake cookies for 20-25 minutes or until tops are golden. **It took mine exactly 22 minutes. Once done, transfer cookies to a cooling rack and let cool completely before serving. ENJOY!!

3 cups chocolate cookie crumbs or 3 cups vanilla cookie crumbs
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup chocolate chips or 1 cup vanilla chip
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 bananas, sliced (not overly ripe)
1/2-1 cup coconut
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375° and grease 13 by 9" pan Mix cookie crumbs,butter and sugar until thoroughly blended& reserve 1/3 of mixture.
  • Press the remaining mixture into bottom of baking dish.
  • Bake for 8- 10 minutes until lightly browned.

  • Spread over cookie crumb base in pan.
  • Sprinkle reserved cookie crumb mixture over filling.
  • Return to oven for 8-10 minutes until topping is slightly browned.
  • Cool thoroughly and cut into bars.

Tips:

  • Use overripe bananas. Overripe bananas are sweeter and have a more intense flavor, which will make your cookies more delicious.
  • Mash the bananas well. The better you mash the bananas, the smoother your cookies will be.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown. The centers of the cookies should still be slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
