Vegan cookies with bananas and dates are a delicate and aromatic treat, perfect for those following a plant-based diet or simply wanting to enjoy a healthy dessert. This delicacy is inspired by American culinary traditions, where simple and natural ingredients combine for a harmonious flavor. Dates add natural sweetness and a subtle caramel note to the baked goods, while bananas contribute softness and lightness. Almond flour and peanut butter give the cookies a rich nutty flavor, making them dense and nutritious. These cookies are ideal for morning tea or a light snack, and their healthy composition makes them an excellent alternative to store-bought sweets. Especially nice is that they require no complex ingredients and are easy to prepare at home.
