Some of you have been waiting for this recipe for awhile… I apologize for taking SO LONG to post it! This is a quick cookie recipe– with NO added sugar (except for the chocolate chips)– that is perfect for lunchboxes! Or just a little treat. Enjoy!
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup coconut oil (or palm shortening)
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla
- 2 mashed ripe bananas (I use super ripe– think “rotten”)
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (if you decide not to add this, you may need an additional Tbsp or so of coconut flour)
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life brand)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix the first 4 ingredients together in your mixer. Then add the remaining ingredients and mix until well blended. Batter will be on the stiff side.
3. Drop small spoonfuls onto your cookie sheet (they can be close together– cookies will not spread) and bake for about 9-10 minutes. Cookies should be soft when you remove them from the oven, then let them sit for 5 minutes before you remove them from the cookie sheet.
I freeze these and pack them in my kids’ lunches frozen.

Thanks so much! I can’t wait to try this recipe. I’m always on the lookout for gluten free treats without all the GF flours. How many cookies does this make?
Around 30. Hope you like them!
Thanks for linking your great post to FAT TUESDAY. This was very interesting! These look great — I think I’ll try them! Hope to see you next week!
These were great! I added a couple extra eggs b/c the dough seemed dry and I made them into extra large cookies. They were really soft and had a muffin-like texture, most likely due to the extra eggs I added. We all loved them and can’t wait to make them again. I think next time I will skip the chocolate chips and add dried fruit and call it a “breakfast cookie”. =-)
Looks wonderful…I love cookies!
