Healthy Cookies - No Sugar No Flour! | Easy Recipe
The secret to making healthy cookies that actually taste indulgent lies in understanding what sugar and flour do in traditional recipes, then finding natural alternatives that perform similarly. In my version of these no sugar no flour cookies, I use ripe mashed banana and a touch of pure maple syrup for sweetness. The banana not only adds natural sugar but also provides moisture and helps bind everything together. Instead of all-purpose flour, I rely on finely ground almond flour and rolled oats. The almond flour gives these healthy cookies a tender, almost buttery texture, while the oats add substance and that satisfying chew. When you pulse the oats in a food processor, they create a flour-like consistency that mimics traditional cookie texture beautifully.
