Since treats (especially those with a helping of chocolate) are pretty much "required eating" this weekend, the menu calls for something quick, low-mess, low-fuss and no-shopping required. When we had a few scraggly, solid-brown bananas hanging out on the counter for a little longer than the heat deemed worthy, I knew I had to get rid of them one way or another. What can I say, the cheap side of me always outweighs the complete couch potato side! I decided to capitalize on the natural sweet, nutty flavour of ground tigernuts in place of almonds or oats, which also added a boost of fibre, iron, magnesium and electrolytes to the "dough"- and with no nuts, no added sugar and no grain flours it was a treat I felt practically virtuous serving to my family, while enjoying the rich, cookie-dough flavour inside the dark chocolate shell. I can't imagine not finding the original recipe on Healthy Sweet Eats now!
In honour of Labor Day, the #SundaySupper gang is sharing recipes requiring minimal effort while delivering maximum taste. Our dishes run the gamut as always, and you're sure to find at least one thing to tack on to your final "hurrah" of Summer without too much hassle!

1 tsp pure vanilla extract
½ tsp butter flavouring, optional
¼ tsp liquid stevia
pinch fine salt
pinch nutmeg
2 ½ tbsp coconut flour
2 ½ tbsp tigernut flour
2 tbsp mini chocolate chips (I used stevia sweetened chopped dark chocolate but found these chips sweetened with erythritol and stevia)
dark chocolate, melted, for coating (not included in NI - I used stevia sweetened dark chocolate)
- Mash the banana, coconut oil, vanilla, stevia, salt and nutmeg together in a medium bowl.
- Stir in the flour and ground tigernuts until completely combined, and then mix in the mini chocolate chips.
