Recipe: Sunday Cookies with coconut, almond, banana & strawberries

A 21 Day Seasonal Cleanse Favourite

Sunday cookies were born on a Sunday during a 21 Day Seasonal Cleanse & Health Reset when I needed a delicious grain-free and balanced macronutrient snack. One afternoon, I concocted this recipe and then from then onwards, I made so many different variations by swapping out wet and dry mixtures. Below, you will find the basic recipe and this Sunday's combination. Enjoy!

Organic ingredients:

• 2-3 ripe medium sized bananas, mashed

• 4 cups almond meal or 2 cups almond meal and 2 cups desiccated coconut

• Cinnamon powder

• Paraffin-free baking paper

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with paraffin-free baking paper.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas with the almond meal and/or desiccated coconut.

3. Add the cinnamon powder to the mixture and stir until well combined. The mixture should be moist enough to hold together when formed into balls.

4. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, form the mixture into balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.

5. Gently press each ball with a fork to flatten it slightly and create a nice design.

6. Bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

7. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.

8. Transfer the cooled cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
