It's time to get crazy! I'm talking a cookie without any of the normal cookie ingredients crazy: no flour, no sugar, no butter. OK, that might not be THAT crazy, but I think its pretty exciting 🙂 And they're called Elvis Cookies, so ya, pretty crazy and exciting.
I guess that means I'm getting old. HaHaHa! This was inspired by the King's favorite sandwich - a peanut butter honey sandwich with sliced banana, bacon and honey.
You might be asking what the heck is in this cookie and you might have guessed some ingredients based on the fact that I called these Elvis Cookies: peanut butter, banana, and bacon.
These cookies would make Elvis happy.
And they'll make you and your paleo diet happy, too.
Elvis Cookies
Because they have only 4 ingredients which are all unrefined, raw, whole foods. This Elvis Cookies recipe is gluten free, dairy free, soy free, and refined sugar free. Plus, it's loaded with protein so it makes a good afternoon snack.
I also love that it makes a small batch, so you won't have a ton of extra cookies on your hands. Test them out and see if you can't feel the spirit of the King 😉 Who knows, maybe you'll start swinging your hips.

Elvis cookies- for the win! Love the name and they sound epic!
I couldn't resist a little tribute to the king. 🙂
Bacon?! You wild woman you! I love the name and the ingredients in these yummies.
Right?! who puts bacon in cookies? It's pretty epic though.
Oh my goodness, these are my kind of cookies! Love the bacon!
Thanks!!! and ya... everything is better with bacon. 🙂
Wooow! I would never have put the three together, but dang... now I have to make these. They sound amazing.
Peanut butter and bacon...BRILLIANT! My son is allergic to peanuts, but I bet this would work just as good with sunbutter. Thanks for the recipe.
Elvis combos are my jam! The sweet and salty combo I can never get enough. These look delicious. While I don't eat bacon and make mine with coconut bacon I bet my oldest daughter would like these.
Fun cookie! I think we'll swap that out with coconut bacon and have a deal!
Coconut Bacon would be great in these! That's a great Vegan alternative! 🙂
