Ingredients in This Recipe
- ground flaxseed
- cold water
- mashed spotty-brown banana
- melted coconut oil
- maple syrup
- whole wheat pastry flour
- baking soda

- chopped walnuts
KITCHEN TOOLS TO PURCHASE TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

Something that makes these cookies very unique is their soft and moist texture. The whole wheat pastry flour is really the secret to this texture. The pastry flour makes the cookies airy rather than dense. I do not recommend substituting another flour for this recipe. You can purchase it from any major grocery store or I added an Amazon link above.
How To Store These Cookies
Store the cookies in an airtight container on the counter for a couple of days or place into the freezer for up to 3 months.

Can you use almond flour instead
Hi Bradley, almond flour cannot be used as a 1:1 sub, but if you are looking for an almond flour cookie recipe I recommend my Classic Chocolate Chippers "https://hellofrozenbananas.com/classic-chocolate-chippers/" 🙂

Hi Krista!! What’s your fav gluten free flour brand? Looking to make these for my sister and was wondering if I could substitute for whole wheat:)
Hi Ellie! You could substitute whole wheat flour, but I have found that whole wheat pastry flour has a better texture and lighter taste. You can grab it at your local supermarket. Bob's Red Mill Brand 🙂 – Krista <3
