Banana Bread Cookies (gluten free, vegan)

Delicious! Stumbled across this recipe and had all the ingredients on hand. Easy and tasty. My kitchen smells divine. Don’t expect a traditional cookie, but the banana bread taste is spot on. May try a batch with mini chocolate chips.

Notes

These cookies won't spread too much so I put all 15 cookies on one baking sheet, so I won't have to bake 2 batches.

For this recipe I used a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop.
