• 1-2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mash the bananas in a bowl with a fork until they form a paste. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Drop 16-20 spoonsful onto a cookie sheet, shaping each spoonful into a cookie shape. Bake for 15 minutes. They should be firm and slightly browned when done.
