It takes about 30 minutes to cook of a batch and the preparation time is only about 10 minutes. We normally use they as a snack in our lunch pack. They are also great in the afternoon when you are hungry and you haven't even started cooking dinner. If you want a different variant of these cookies we can recommend trying to substitute the chocolate with raisins or chopped nuts, like almonds or hazelnuts. One cookie contain about 50 calories.

Hi,
What would be the result if I added eggs to this recipe?
Kim Nielsen
Hi Anusha. That's really difficult to say. However, if you try I would like to know about the result. Regards Kim

This probably sounds like a silly question but do these cookies taste of banana? I have just made a refined-sugar-free cake with bananas where you can't taste the banana but it sweetens it. I ask because I can't stand the taste of bananas!
Kim Nielsen
Hi Helen. Actually that is a relevant question. I personally don't think that they taste that much of banana. They are super fast to make so I think you should try making half a portion and see if you like them.
