Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat two cookie sheets with cooking spray; set aside.
In a large bowl, mash banana with a fork, add in almond butter, honey, vanilla, and cinnamon.
In a small bowl, combine shredded coconut, hemp seeds, baking soda, and salt.
Stir the dry ingredients into the banana almond butter mixture. If desired, fold in raisins.
Using a ¼-cup measuring cup, drop mounds of dough 3 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets. With a thin metal or small plastic spatula dipped in water, flatten and spread each mound of dough to a 2¾-inch round, about ½ inch thick.
Bake, one sheet at a time, for 14 to 16 minutes or until browned. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Store in the refrigerator inside an airtight container or resealable plastic bag for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months; thaw before serving.
