These cookies are delicious: gluten free, vegan and very low in sugar. They are a perfect Veganuary snack! In our opinion the cookies are sweet enough with the dates, chocolate and banana but feel free to add in a little coconut sugar if you like your cookies on the sweeter side!

- Half a banana (mashed)
- 1/3 cup coconut flour

- 2tbsp chia seeds soaked in 1/4 cup water (mix and leave to the side)
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar (if using)
Directions

- Add water to the chia seeds and leave aside for the water to absorb.
- Sift coconut flour into a bowl and add the tahini, coconut oil, bicarbonate of soda, banana, vanilla, coconut sugar (if using) and mix well.
- Add in the chia seed mixture. The mixture is quite dry but this is normal.
- Finally mix in the date pieces and the chocolate.
- Separate into c. 8 balls and flatten onto a lined baking tray.
