The recipe… step by step!

Zero Waste recipe step number one

In the Prep4You food processor, chop the almonds, using the pulse function at max speed. Stop when still coarse and chunky, then remove from the food processor.

Zero Waste recipe step number two icon

Chop the dates and raisins together, until they’re the same size as the almond chunks. Then mix with the almonds. Now blend the bananas and cinnamon on max speed until smooth and homogeneous.

Zero Waste recipe step number three icon

Add the 400 g of oat flakes to the banana and mix on the lowest speed, then add all the other ingredients (except the 150 g of coconut flakes and the 150 g of oat flakes). Do not overmix.

Zero Waste recipe step number four icon

Use an ice cream scoop to portion the cookies to 30 g each. Mix the remaining 150 g of coconut flakes with the remaining 150 g of oat flakes and pour on a flat tray.

Zero Waste recipe step number five icon

Roll the 30 g portions in the coconut and oat flakes mixture. Use two frying spatulas to flatten the cookies, then finish by hand, using the coconut-oat mixture to prevent the cookies from sticking to your hands.

On your Magistar Combi-TS, start the automatic program “Banana Cookies.” Activate the Match function by prebooking the automatic chilling cycle “Banana cookies Chill.” Bake and chill. Store in an airtight container.

Chef Maximilian Zedelmeier says:

These LESS-WASTE MORE-VALUE Banana Cookies are a perfect power snack at any time of the day. The natural sweetness is given by the overripe banana and the dates. This recipe is 100% natural. Quite different from what we are used to from industrial cookies made with refined sugars, the natural sugars will take some time to be perceived on your palate.
