- 2 VERY ripe bananas
- ½ cup crushed walnuts

- Then make roughly 14 balls with the mixture (about 1 Tbsp of mixture) on a greased baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. (We recommend spraying your baking sheet with oil to minimize the calories). bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove delish treats from the oven and flatten them with the back of a spoon.
- Put back in the oven for another 5 minutes. Take ’em out and let ’em cool (it’ll be hard to wait!) and dig on in!

These are great little cookies. They have a great texture, are flavorful and satisfying and they certainly don’t need added sugar. I will definitely make them again. I substituted pecans, because I am allergic to walnuts.
