The Best Paleo Cookies with Three Simple Ingredients!

These amazing paleo cookies only have three ingredients! They are soft, delicious, and one of my favorite go-to desserts. Oh, and they’re vegan, too.

I’ve shared paleo cookies with you before – remember the cinnamon almond flour shortbread cookies, or the almond butter ginger cookies? They were delicious.

Soft Paleo Cookies

But these are even softer. Oh, and these paleo cookies are more simple to make than both of those recipes! Not that both of those cookies aren’t amazing – they’re really good.

These are just a little bit different. They only have three ingredients, and they’re perfect when I want something easy to make, soft, and delicious.

They also allow those on the paleo diet, Whole 30, or vegan lifestyle to participate in holiday festivities (hello, Christmas cookie exchange!). Because even if you’re observing a healthy lifestyle, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to indulge once in awhile.

Are These Cookies Healthy?

It’s hard to call any cookie “healthy” (it just feels so wrong), but relatively speaking, I would say these are healthy! The main ingredient is fruit!

The calories are low, the potassium is high (for the size), and the fats are healthy fats (thanks almond butter!).

There’s a little bit of protein and fiber in each cookie, so generally speaking, I feel pretty good about eating these.

A lot better than I would feel eating some other cookie recipes! If I take two, it’s not going to break the bank, if you know what I’m saying.

Can You Freeze Them?

You can leave these banana cookies in the pantry for approximately 2 – 3 days, thought I personally like to refrigerate them and heat them up for a few seconds before eating. They don’t have preservatives, so they aren’t going to last as long as other cookies.

BUT you can freeze them. And if you freeze them, they’ll last about 4 – 5 months. Be sure to let them defrost naturally on the counter before eating.

Let’s dig into the recipe!

Makes about 12 cookies

Ingredients

• 2 medium sized over-ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/4 cup of almond butter + 1 tbsp
• 1/4 cup of cocoa powder + 1 tbsp
• Coarse sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

One additional note I want to be sure you don’t miss – you can add chocolate chips (or vegan chocolate chips) to make these even more amazing. Just throw in half a cup (you’ll have to recalculate nutritional info). I’ll leave that up to you.
