Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the almond butter and vanilla extract, mixing well until combined. Stir in the shredded coconut, chopped nuts, dried fruit (if using), and cinnamon.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form the mixture into cookies and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon.
