Preheat Your Oven:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your oven is at the right temperature for baking.
Prepare the Baking Sheet:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents the cookies from sticking and ensures easy removal after baking.
Mix the Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder and mashed bananas. Mix thoroughly to integrate the banana completely and create a smooth, uniform mixture.
Add the egg whites to the cocoa and banana mixture. Stir until all ingredients are fully combined. The mixture should be thick and glossy.
Shape the Cookies:
Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, drop dollops of the cookie mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave some space between each cookie, as they will spread a bit during baking.
Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are firm and the surfaces look slightly crackled.
Cool:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
