If you’re looking for a simple, wholesome snack made with just a few ingredients, these 3-ingredient gluten-free cookies are a delicious option. Made with bananas, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds, they contain no refined flour, no eggs, and no added sugar. They are naturally sweet, satisfying, and packed with nutrients that can fit into a balanced diet.
Why These Cookies Are Worth Trying
Many packaged cookies are high in refined flour, added sugars, and saturated fats. These homemade cookies rely on whole-food ingredients instead, providing fiber, healthy fats, and plant-based protein.
While they are healthier than many traditional cookies, it’s important to remember that bananas contain natural sugars, so these cookies are naturally sweet rather than completely sugar-free.
