Ingredients
• Cookies: 1 ½ cups almond flour or whole wheat pastry flour, ½ cup very ripe mashed banana (about 1 large), ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 package (1 oz) sugar-free vanilla pudding mix, ⅓ cup pure maple syrup or coconut sugar, 1 large egg or flax egg, 1 tsp pure vanilla extract + ½ tsp banana extract (optional), 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda, pinch sea salt
• Mix-Ins: ⅓ cup vanilla wafer crumbs (gluten-free if needed), ⅓ cup white chocolate chips or sugar-free white chips
• Optional Topping: Light Greek yogurt glaze (2 tbsp Greek yogurt + 1 tsp maple syrup + pinch vanilla) + extra vanilla wafer crumbs for garnish
Instructions
• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a bowl, whisk almond flour, vanilla pudding mix, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until lump-free and well combined.
• In another bowl, mash banana until smooth, then mix in Greek yogurt, maple syrup, egg, vanilla, and banana extract (if using) until creamy.
• Gently fold wet ingredients into dry until just combined—avoid overmixing for tender, cake-like cookies.
• Carefully stir in vanilla wafer crumbs and white chocolate chips for that signature banana pudding flavor and texture.
• Chill dough 10-15 minutes if too soft for easier handling (banana moisture varies).
• Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the baking sheet, flatten slightly with a fork, and bake 10-12 mins until edges are lightly golden and centers are set but still soft.
• Cool 5 minutes on pan, then transfer to a rack. Optionally drizzle with Greek yogurt glaze and sprinkle with extra vanilla wafer crumbs once cooled!
