Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup mashed bananas (about 2 medium ripe bananas)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 and 1/4 cups gluten free old-fashioned oats
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 and 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate (chopped)

Instructions

  • Step 1: Preheat Your Oven - Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly and thoroughly.
  • Step 2: Prepare Your Baking Sheet - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make clean-up a breeze.
  • Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, vanilla extract, eggs, and melted coconut oil. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
  • Step 4: Combine the Dry Ingredients - In another bowl, whisk together the gluten free old-fashioned oats, almond flour, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, salt, and baking soda. This helps to evenly distribute the baking soda and spices.
  • Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures - Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; you want to combine until just combined.
  • Step 6: Add Chocolate - Gently fold in the chopped semi-sweet chocolate, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
  • Step 7: Scoop and Bake - Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look set.
  • Step 8: Cool and Enjoy - Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your warm, chewy cookies with a glass of almond milk or your favorite beverage!
