Banana Bread Cookies (gluten free, vegan)

      Comment   
These easy vegan and paleo banana bread cookies are a delicious and healthy treat the whole family will enjoy. Their banana bread flavor is to die for!



Ingredients
3 over-ripe bananas
1 tsp vanilla bean extract or from actual bean
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 flax egg see below
3 tbsp coconut oil
1 1/4 cup gluten free oats grind to create a flour
1/4 cup raw sugar coconut
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 vegan chocolate optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350*F.
Start by combining the flax egg, and set aside.
Next, in a large bowl mash the over ripe bananas and continue to add the remaining ingredients. Be sure to measure 1 1/4 cup oats and then blend to create a flour. Mix well, so there are no clumps of oil or banana. If the batter seems runny add extra whole oats (it should be like a cake batter texture).

Funfetti Shortbread Bites

      Comment   
These adorable mini Funfetti Shortbread Bites are ridiculously easy to make and totally addictive. Crisp, buttery and filled with Funfetti, you'll be forgiven for not wanting to share!



Ingredients
1 cup (226g) salted butter, cold and diced into 1 Tbsp pieces*
2/3 cup (142g) granulated sugar
1/2 tsp almond extract
2 1/4 cups (318g) all-purpose flour (scoop and level flour to measure)
3 Tbsp (30g) nonpareils sprinkles, divided (any color)

Instructions
Butter a 13 by 9-inch baking dish and line with 2 sheets of parchment paper (one horizontally and one vertically. I also like to butter between parchment sheets so they stick) leaving a 1-inch over hang on all sides, set aside.
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer cream together butter and sugar until well combined. Mix in almond extract.
With mixer set on low speed slowly add in flour and mix until combined (it will take a while and will appear dry and sandy at first but it will start to come together).
