    These healthy 4-ingredient samoas cookies are so easy to make, nostalgic, and delicious! This copycat vegan girl scout cookie recipe comes together in about 30 minutes. Perfect for a sweet breakfast treat, afternoon snack, or dessert!

    It's girl scout season! My favorite cookies have always been thin mints but I couldn't pass up an opportunity to recreate samoas or caramel delites. Chances are you might already have these ingredients in your pantry and on your kitchen counter! You'll need:

    • A very ripe banana (or two, depending on the size)
    • Shredded coconut
    • Vegan chocolate chips
    • Coconut oil

    Simply mash your bananas in a mixing bowl then stir in the shredded coconut. Form small disc shaped cookies and transfer to a prepared baking sheet.

    Using a chopstick, the back of a spoon, or your finger; create small holes in the centers of each samoa cookie. Bake for 20-25 minutes then let cool.

    Meanwhile, melt the dairy-free chocolate and stir in coconut oil. Once the cookies are chilled, drizzle the chocolate over, then place in the fridge to set.
