Hibiscus Honey Almond Cookies

This recipe is dedicated to the wonderful hibiscus-infused honey I got from a local festival in my hometown this summer. If y’all have the opportunity, support local farms and buy local, fresh honey. This recipe was also born out of the need to get rid of old bananas, so if you have some overripe bananas on the counter, try using this recipe to make something new from them.

Ingredients

• 2 bananas, ripe and peeled
• ½ cup almond butter
• 1-2 Tbsp. hibiscus honey (or any type of honey)
