Brown Butter Banana Bread Cookies

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup salted butter
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 1 medium ripe banana, mashed well
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 3/4 cups almond flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2/3 cup chocolate chips
• to top sea salt

Instructions

1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until it’s bubbling and browned, about 5-8 minutes. Remove and let cool for 20 minutes.
2. Add the cooled browned butter, maple syrup and banana to a large bowl and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the egg and vanilla until combined.
3. Fold in the almond flour, baking soda and salt and stir for about 1 minute until fully combined and the almond flour begins to absorb the liquid. The dough should be wet almost like a banana bread batter. Transfer to the fridge to firm up for 15 minutes while the oven preheats. DO NOT SKIP the chill time.
4. Preheat oven to 375F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips until just combined. Scoop 12 cookies onto the baking sheet. Bake for 9-12 minutes until outsides are golden and center is still soft. Let cool for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. They will be too soft to handle before cooling.
