Paleo Banana Date & Walnut Microwave Cookies

So quick and satisfying

Ingredients

1 Ripe Banana, mashed

5 Pitted Dates, chopped

2 Tablespoons of Shredded Coconut

1 Tablespoon of Coconut Oil 

1/4 Cup of Almond Flour

Handful of Walnuts, chopped

(Honey can be added for additional sweetness, but I don't think it needs it with the Banana and Coconut). 

Method 

Mash the Banana in a bowl, add in the remaining ingredients and mix. Divide the mixture into four and roll into balls.  Get a microwave safe plate and put one of the cookie balls on the plate and flatten (I put all four in at the same time and they stuck together and cook unevenly).  Bake in the microwave for 60-120 seconds, depending on your microwave.  I have a 1000 watt microwave and it took about 120 seconds on one side and then 60 seconds on the other.  

It's a bit trial and error, but remember that your cookie will keep cooking after it comes out of the microwave.  What you are looking for is a slight change in colour and for them to form a bit of a crust on top.  Less time will be a softer cookie, longer with be a firmer more dry cookie.  I let them cool for about 5 minutes before eating. Enjoy! :)
