  • 120 g (1 tightly packed cup) coconut flour
  • 90 g (1 cup) collagen peptides protein powder
  • 75 g (⅔ cup) pecan halves chopped in to small-ish pieces. Reserve some for the top.
  • 46 g (2 - 2 ½ tablespoons) coconut oil Equates to 46g. Use 2 ½ tablespoons for US measures.

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 170C/340F fan forced and line a baking sheet with baking/parchment paper.
  • Soak the dates in freshly boiled water for 5 minutes and then drain well. Don't leave them too long!
  • Mash the banana and the dates together until well mixed and there are no large pieces. Next add in the remaining ingredients until a cookie dough has formed.
  • Next, shape the cookies by using approx. 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie. Place them on the baking sheet.
  • Place the remaining pecan pieces on top of the cookies - gently push in to the cookie.
  • Place the cookies in the oven and set a timer for 12 minutes.
  • Turn the sheet and bake for another 10 minutes.
  • Cook for a little longer until light brown. These cookies can overly brown if they aren't watched closely, so be careful!
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool if you are drizzling with chocolate. To drizzle chocolate, gently melt in a double boiler or microwave and then drizzle with a spoon.
  • Cookies can be stored in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for up to a month.
