Banana Coconut Cookie Bars Recipes

EASY AND ELEGANT BANANA COCONUT BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 360 F.
• Grease the 9x13 baking dish. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl combine sugar and egg. Mix on low speed with a hand-held mixer for 1 minute. Add melted butter. Mix on low for another 1 minute. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Knead the dough only until it comes together. Do not over knead it. It should be very soft, pliable and slightly sticky. You can either roll out the dough with the rolling pin and transfer it to a baking dish. Or spread it in the baking dish using your fingers. Bake in the middle of the oven for 12 minutes.
• In the same medium bowl combine coconut flakes, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until everything comes together and hold the shape when you squeeze it.
• Peel all bananas, cut in half and split.
• Remove baking dish from oven and place it on a towel. While still warm arrange all banana slices starting from the shorter edge of the baking dish. Lightly press bananas into the dough. Spread the coconut filling evenly, gently pressing on top of the bananas. Sprinkle with the fancy large coconut flakes.
• Bake in the middle of the oven for 23 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Let it cool completely. Cut bars into desired shapes.
• Enjoy!

2-INGREDIENT BANANA COCONUT COOKIES | HEALTHY SNACK RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicon liner.
• Add bananas to a bowl and mash with a fork until smooth (no lumps). One of my tricks to getting things extra creamy and smooth is to use a handheld immersion blender (see recipe video).
• Once banana is mashed and smooth, add the shredded coconut. Mix with a fork then use your hands to make sure the coconut is fully incorporated into the banana. **Add a pinch of sea salt (optional).
• Separate mixture into 8 equal parts. Roll the mixture into a tight ball then flatten into a cookie shape (about 1/2 inch thick) and place onto the baking sheet. Repeat this process until you've formed 8 cookies.
• Bake cookies for 20-25 minutes or until tops are golden. **It took mine exactly 22 minutes. Once done, transfer cookies to a cooling rack and let cool completely before serving. ENJOY!!
