Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F).
In a food processor, combine the crunchy peanut butter, very ripe banana, dessicated coconut, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla essence, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend for about 2 minutes until smooth.
Scoop out heaped teaspoons of the batter and roll them into small balls.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the cookie balls, leaving space between each. Flatten each ball with a moistened fork.
Bake for about 15 minutes until lightly golden around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for an additional 15 minutes.
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
