Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the cookies.

Notes
- For a nut-free option, substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter.
- If you prefer your cookies less sweet, reduce the honey to 1/2 tablespoon.
- Make sure bananas are ripe for natural sweetness and better binding.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- These cookies freeze well; thaw at room temperature before serving.
