Flourless Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

Woah there, Nelly. Flourless and egg free? How does this work?

Without further a-do!

Found this recipe a few weeks ago, and I was like wow these sound amazing. So I decided to give them a try. Two Quick tips if you decide to make these! Don't use an overly ripe banana (make sure it isn't really brown the banana taste overwhelms the rest of the ingredients) and don't mash the banana's til they're liquidy or else they will be runny.


 What you will need:

    1 cup peanut butter 
    3/4 cup white sugar 
    1 small-medium very ripe banana, mashed 
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla
    1/2 cup chocolate chips
    A bowl
    A Spoon or Fork




Step One: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix everything except the chocolate chips in a bowl until well combined. Then Stir in chocolate chips.

Step Two: Using moistened hands, form generous 1 tablespoon (use more if you want bigger cookies) dough for each cookie into ball. Arrange on 2 ungreased baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.

I'm sorry I forgot to take a picture of this, but the directions are pretty self-explanatory.

Step Three: Bake cookies until puffed, golden on bottom and still soft to touch in center, about 12 minutes. Cool on sheets 5 minutes. Transfer to racks; cool completely.


Serves: Makes about average sized 24 cookies (12 large cookies) 

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Number of Servings: 24

Mine got stuck to the pan because they were too gooey, if you see above I stated a couple of tips for if you don't want this to happen. All-in-all they still tasted great (although they did not look so great)! I also have another gluten free cookie recipe that I (and anyone who try's them) just loves!! I can make a tutorial if anyone is interested. 

-Tata for now!

DIY: Iced Coffee

ICEDCOFFEEICEDCOFFEEICEDCOFFEEICEDCOFFEEICEDCOFFEEICEDCOFFEE

So, I find iced coffee to be extremely good on the days that drinking hot coffee is a little too much! So I was messing around with it earlier, thinking well it cant really be that hard to recreate. So I went for it! Turns out its a lot easier than I anticipated! I was so happy with it that I taught some friends how to make it! I guess we should get to the good stuff now.

The Ingredients:
    • Milk - you can substitute soymilk or whatever you prefer
    • Creamer - whatever your favorite flavor is
    • Instant Coffee -I used the little starbucks packet because thats all we had.
    • Ice




  • Step One: Place the instant coffee inside a tall glass
  • Step Two: Add about 3/4 of the glass milk


  • Step Three: Add in creamer (to desired flavor)
  • Step Four: Fill remainder of the glass with ice
  • Step Five: Stir and Enjoy.



See how easy it is to make at home! I cant believe some people will spend nearly $5 for something identical, or moreover spend the money to get the brand. Seems like a bunch of gibberish to me! Another thing, if you don't have creamer you can always use half and half with some flavoring syrup if you've got it!

I hope you're having a lovely day,
