To make the banana bread cookies

Mash the bananas with a fork (or your/ hands, woo) and then mix in everything else. You should end up with a gooey wet dough that holds it shape.
Scoop into cookies with an ice cream scoop (or whatever) onto a liner dehydrator tray and dehydrate for 2-3 hours at 115 degrees. Or just use your oven at it’s lowest temperature like I do. The cookies are done when they hold their shape and are a little chewy. Let them cool if you want.

To make the coconut cream

Blend it all until smooth. If your blender is big, you may have to double the amounts but seriously when has leftover coconut cream ever been an issue.
Spread coconut cream on the cookies and drizzle on chocolate sauce. Eaaaaat.

To make the chocolate syrup

Stir the ingredients together until smooth, it will take a second for the cacao to combine with the liquid then drizzle on your cookies! Enjoy!
