Description

Perfectly soft, bakery-style paleo cookies riddled with buttery macadamia nuts and a sweet strawberry swirl. This gut-healthy sweet treats is one of my favorites to have on hand for an easy dessert. Paleo, Grain-free, Gluten-Free, Refined-Sugar-Free, Low Carb. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup green banana flour (90 g)
  • 3/4 cup almond flour (90 g)
  • 3 tbsp granulated monk fruit (30 g)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp liquid allulose (can sub honey or maple syrup) (50 g)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (15 g)
  • 1/3 cup chopped macadamia nut (55 g
  • 1/3 cup no-sugar-added strawberry preserves (95 g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In the bowl of a large food processor, combine the green banana flour, almond flour, monk fruit, baking powder, and sea salt. 
  3. Add in the egg, liquid allulose, and vanilla. Pulse on high for about 45 seconds, until a thick cookie dough forms. 
  4. Transfer the dough into a mixing bowl and stir in the coconut and chopped macadamia nuts. 
  5. Fold in the strawberry preserves gently, being careful not to over-mix, until a strawberry “ribbon” is evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough. 
  6. Scoop out the cookie dough in 2 tbsp sized pieces to the prepared cookie sheet. Flatten each cookie dough ball slightly into a cookie like shape (this dough does not spread much while baking). 
  7. Bake the cookies for 15 minutes, until the bottom of each cookie is slightly golden-brown. 
  8. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes before removing from the pan & enjoy
