Recipe with bananas

Coconut Cookies Recipe 4

For a touch of exotic flavor, add bananas to the dough. Be sure to use ripe bananas. Green bananas can have an unpleasant, bitter taste. To make banana cookies, use:

  • 200 grams of coconut flakes;
  • 180 grams of flour;
  • a pack of butter (can be replaced with 100 ml of vegetable oil, diluted with water by one third);
  • 2 bananas;
  • 2 eggs;
  • 150 grams of sugar.

Since bananas are very sweet, the amount of sugar can be adjusted to suit taste. Mix the ingredients as shown in the photo:

  1. Soften the butter and cream together with the sugar, bananas, and eggs. To ensure the bananas are soft, mash them with a fork first.
  2. Add the shavings and flour. The dough should be thick.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spoon the dough onto it. You can shape it into various shapes.
  4. Bake the baked goods in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 20 minutes.

Unfortunately, coconut flakes aren't cheap these days. But if you're looking to treat your loved ones to this unique flavor, you can use a budget-friendly recipe combining coconut flakes with bananas. The cookies won't suffer from this and will even acquire a sophisticated tropical fruit flavor. Enjoy these delicate treats!
