Ingredients
- 2 bananas
- 1 Cup coconut sugar
- ½ Cup coconut oil
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 lemon rind grated
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 Cups gluten free all purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp baking powder

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F and grease cookie sheets.
- Mash the banana in a bowl and add all the remaining ingredients into the bowl (except the fillings), mix well.
- Take one part and roll the dough into a small round about ⅛ inch thick (you can use a round cookie cutter or a jar lid to cut out the shape).
- Place ½ to ⅔ tsp of desired filling in the center of each circle.
- To shape into a triangle, lift up the right and left sides, leaving a top flap, and bring both sides to meet at the center above the filling (pictured).
- Bring the top flap down to the center to meet the two sides and pinch the edges together.
- Place on a cookie sheet with parchment paper about 1 inch apart and bake at 350 F for about 20 minutes.
