Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach
- 1 banana, ripe
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the spinach, banana, eggs, and coconut oil. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl and stir in the coconut flour. Mix until a dough forms. It should be firm but slightly tacky.
- Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about ¼ inch thick.
- Use a cookie cutter to shape your treats and place them on the baking tray.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until firm and lightly golden.
Substitutions
- Kale can be used instead of spinach for a different green.
- Mashed pumpkin works as a reliable substitute for banana.
