HEALTHY SAMOAS COOKIES

Another week, another healthy treat! I don't know about you guys, but I crave sweets all of the time. These 5 ingredient samoas cookies put a healthy spin on the traditional Girl Scout cookies. They are so easy and simple to make and taste soo good! 

INGREDIENTS:

- 1 ripe banana

- 1/2 cup of coconut flakes 

- 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract

- 1/4 cup of chocolate chips

- 1 tsp of coconut oil 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Smash a ripe banana in a small bowl until most of the lumps are out. Add the coconut flakes and vanilla extract, and then mix it together until it is well combined. The mixture should be thick and sticky. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet (if you don't have parchment paper you can use aluminum paper but make sure to spray it with a cooking spray). Take a scoop of the mixture and place it on the baking sheet and then form it into a circular shape. To make them look like the girl scout samoas cookies, make a hole in the center of each cookie (I just used my finger but you can use a straw or the back of a spoon). Place it in the oven and cook for about 20 minutes. 

While the cookies are baking in the oven, place chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwavable safe bowl. Put it in the microwave for 1 1/2-2 minutes. Take the bowl out of the microwave and stir, and then place it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds. You will repeat this until the chocolate chips is fully melted and has a smooth consistency. 

After the cookies are done, take them out of the oven and let them sit until they are cooled down. Then use a spoon to drizzle the samoas on top of the cookies. Place them in the fridge until the chocolate becomes firm. 

Enjoy!
