Instructions

Preparing the Banana Mixture

Peel and Puree the Bananas: Start by peeling the bananas and cutting them into pieces. Place them in a food processor and blend until smooth. If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a blender to puree the bananas. Transfer the pureed bananas to a mixing bowl.

Add Sesame Seeds: Gradually add 2 1/2 cups of sesame seeds to the pureed banana, mixing thoroughly after each addition using a spatula. The mixture should have a thick consistency once all the sesame seeds are incorporated.

Forming the Cookies

Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a cookie cutter on the parchment paper and fill it with the banana mixture, about 1/4 inch thick. Flatten the top using a small spoon. Repeat this process with the remaining banana mixture.Baking the Cookies

Bake: Preheat your oven to 356°F (180°C). Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cookies are crispy and browned.

Cooling and Garnishing

Cool the Cookies: Once done baking, remove the cookies from the oven and place them on a cooling rack to let them cool completely.

Optional Chocolate Garnish: If you wish to garnish the cookies with chocolate, melt some sugar-free dark chocolate. Slice the chocolate into pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, stirring occasionally. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly, then transfer it to a piping bag. Drizzle the chocolate over the cooled cookies.
