I honestly don’t really know the exact sandwich Elvis really loved, but I’m pretty sure it was these flavors. If it wasn’t, it should have been.
Moving on. Welp. That wasn’t exactly fun to watch last night. That’s really all I have to say about that since I don’t really like football anyways.
Sorry this isn’t a 5 ingredient recipe. It’s tough to move houses and cook at the same time. But I’ll get you one this week. Don’t worry buttercup.
But anyways, moving is done. If you didn’t hear me talk about it for the past month, you sure missed out. I’ll give you a recap, I don’t want you to feel in the dark. I found this apartment about a month ago and even though I didn’t need to move out of my house until May, I decided it was too perfect to say no to. So I hounded the landlord with emails and calls and got my deposit check in as soon as the bank opened. I didn’t give him the opportunity to say no. Well, since I got the place starting in February, I decided I shouldn’t waste more money not living in it. So I’ve moved from the Wash Park area of Denver to City Park. I like parks.
Moving is probably one of the least fun things. Ever. You always scrape some kind of furniture. You usually fall at least once (especially if you’re moving in the snow like I did). And you find out all the money you have to spend on refilling groceries, decorating the place, and figure out everything you’re missing since you don’t have roommates anymore. A plunger? Ah crap. Hi Home Depot. But in the end, it’s totally worth it. Especially if you have lovely friends who are selfless enough to help you move. You know those are good people because honestly, nobody actually likes helping with that.
So I’m living the uptown city life now. Lots more shouting and car noise, but I’m into it. Now I have a much larger kitchen so I actually enjoy being in it AND I have an office AND I have a huge balcony to take food pictures on. Pretty much, I got this new place so I could make better food and blogs for you. I’m so selfless.
That’s a total lie.

Would it be a good idea to chill the mixture (for a few hours) before baking?
Not sure you could though
Your cookies look so flat, shiny and moist!
EVERY SINGLE TIME I make paleo cookies, they puff up and turn into bread. I follow the recipe exactly! What gives?
I think because I only have one egg in this recipe, they flatten out more
thank you for tasty treat, I would never dare to mix bacon to the sweet. I have used the homemade sunflower butter, amazing. You made our day. I have already tried lot of your recipes and could not wait to go forward! you rock 🙂
These are excellent. I made them without the bacon. They look greasy/shiny after they are made, which is funny and they are expensive (Sunbutter is not cheap), but overall I was impressed. Thanks!
So I just made a version of these because we didn’t have honey, chocolate chips, or bacon. I subbed maple syrup for the honey and 2 tbsp cocoa powder for the chocolate aspect. And they are still SO amazing. I can’t wait until I get my hands on chocolate chips and bacon, because they’ll be even better. Thanks for an awesome recipe!!
For the bananas are they suppose to be ripe?
if you use more ripe ones, they will have a stronger banana flavor which is good for these cookies
These were delicious!! I’ve never made cookies with bacon before, and although I did it for the benefit of the boyfriend, I actually think I kinda love bacon in cookies now. ;P
My coworker nicknamed these “muffin tops”, because the batch I produced had that moist consistency of a perfectly soft, chewy muffin top, more so than a floury cookie. But I am totally fine with that! They were ridiculously delicious either way!
Great flavor combo with the banana, nut butter, chocolate, and bacon! And I love that there’s actually no flour involved!
Thanks for making Paleo baking easy and successful! 🙂
didnt see any instructions to refrigerate and just checked your comments and saw to refigerate. do you think these are still okay if I left them out overnight in a Tupperware and just put them in the refrigerator this am? they were delicious! thanks!
absolutely!
So, I made these over the weekend.. and in a rush, I accidentally picked up the mint extract instead of vanilla.. and its actually pretty good! .
Fail on my part. I set the timer for 18 minutes and got busy, never checked my cookies, when the buzzer went off I had badly burned cookies, boo! I will say that these were so good that I scooped the middle out and ate them like that and they were excellent. I hate when I fail at a recipe with such expensive ingredients. Oh well, I will be making again but I will watch them like a hawk!
