Keto Banana Nut Cookies
These keto banana nut cookies are my recreation of the banana bread I have made for years for the holidays. I decided to make them into a cookie because who doesn’t like cookies at the holidays? 😉
Bananas Be Crazy
To keep the carbs down in this recipe I used banana emulsion for the banana flavoring. Bananas have way too many carbs to have on keto, at least for me. The bread recipe that I used to make had 2 bananas in one loaf so that would be around 55 grams of carbs just for the bananas, that is crazy. By using emulsions you can still have the flavor without all the carbs.
All About The Cookies
There were always at least two things I made every year: cranberry bread and banana bread. So, of course, everyone still expected to have these after I went keto, but I decided to make cookies instead this year. Maybe next year I will do keto breads, however this year it is all about the cookies.
