If you haven't tried any of my recipes yet, definitely try these cookies!
Honestly, I was really hesitant to see how these were going to turn out since I used such a small amount of stevia. I came across a conversion chart on eHow where you can substitute 1 teaspoon of stevia powder for a cup of sugar. So I added the 2 pureed bananas for the natural sweet taste plus the pure maple syrup, which gave these cookies that perfect boost. I don't usually say this about my recipes, but these are by far the best cookies that I have ever had. They are really moist and sweet! Even my family said that they were amazing and couldn't believe that they were sugar free.
Ingredients:
(yields 20 medium cookies)
1 tablespoon flaxseed + 3 tablespoons of water*
6 tablespoons softened earth balance butter + 2 tablespoons olive oil
2 bananas pureed
1 teaspoon stevia in the raw extract
1 1/2 cup all purpose baking flour
1/2 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon grade b pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup chocolate chips (dairy, nut & soy free)
What to Do:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. *Mix flaxseed and water and set in fridge to gel. Puree the banana and set aside. Combine the softened butter and oil together until fluffy. Add the stevia and banana to the butter/oil mix. Beat in flaxseed mix, almond extract, maple syrup, and the remaining dry ingredients. Lightly grease baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
