These easy Banana Zucchini Cake Cookies are so soft and pillowy that you'd never guess were healthy! In addition to being vegan and gluten-free, that also have zero oil, butter, and refined sugar. With only 87 calories per cookie, enjoy a couple for breakfast or as a healthy snack!

Holy magical dreamland of the most foodgasmical fairy cookies that were ever birthed!!

I wasn't really sure where this recipe was going. I was sick of making muffins. I never intended Hummusapien to be a muffin blog, you see.

The only is thing I knew for sure was that I had a boatload of organic coconut flour, almond flour, and flax from my besties at Bob's Red Mill. In an effort to not over-muffin myself, I mixed a little bit of this and a little bit of that, formed them into the cutest round blobs, and prayed to the baking gods that they would come out cookie-looking and not hockey puck-tasting. Easier said than done!

Welp, my prayers were answered. They actually exceeded my wildest cookie monster expectations! These Flourless Banana Zucchini Cake Cookie gems are kind of a cross between a cookie, a piece of cake, and a muffin top. They're super soft, moist and pillowy. I find that whenever I use primarily coconut flour, they come out tasting like cake. Exhibit A---My Lemon Coconut No-Bake Bites. #CAKECAKECAKE

I packed a couple of these every day as a snack until they were gone, which brought me to tears. It was painful waiting for the bananas to ripen enough to make another batch. First world problems.

I know from experience that these make a stellar grab-and-go breakfast and would even pass as dessert with a chilly glass of almond milk. I kept them in the fridge since they're so moist and actually preferred them cold. Hudathunkit?

I'm already thinking about a dreamy pumpkin version for Fall which is like, tomorrow. While I'm super sad to be preparing my goodbyes to zucchini, I'm equally as excited to welcome all things apple, cinnamon, pumpkin, and gingerbread. Good thing I already have five cans of pumpkin in the pantry from last year. Hi, I'm Hummus and I hoard pumpkin.

Until then, lettuce relish in the goodness that is summer, sunshine, swimming pools, and zucchini.

Lettuce celebrate the near end of an era---that is the hottest summer there ever was in my 26 years of memory. Lettuce celebrate with none other than Flourless Banana Zucchini Cake Cookies suitable for any and all veganglutenfreepaleo mouths !!
