    These soft chocolate chip cookies are sweetened with banana and a modest amount of coconut sugar. They're also egg-free, gluten-free, nut-free, and dairy-free, making them great for allergic individuals.

    Vegan banana chocolate chip cookie recipe

    As a food blogger, I am often scouring the Internet for recipes and inspiration.

    Much of the time, I find myself looking at something sweet! I can't say I have a big sweet tooth, but I do love baking.

    I particularly enjoy taking an unhealthy recipe and creating something healthy and delicious out of it, mainly in terms of lowering the sugar.

    Because bananas have a natural sweetness, I wanted to incorporate them into a cookie recipe.

    These cookies are soft in consistency, boasting of banana, vanilla, and cinnamon flavors.

    They hold together well, and would make a great lunchbox treat!

    Recipe notes

    I grind my flour fresh from these raw buckwheat groats. I assume the pre-ground flour would work, but the groats are far superior in taste.

    Ingredients

    • ¼ cup buckwheat flour ground from raw groats; see Notes
    • ¼ cup brown rice flour
    • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
    • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
    • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
    • 2 teaspoon coconut sugar
    • ¼ cup mashed banana
    • 1 Tablespoon melted coconut oil
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2-3 Tablespoons milk of your choice see Notes
    • 3 Tablespoons chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
    • Mix the dry ingredients together (flours, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, sugar).
    • Stir in the remaining 'wet' ingredients (banana, oil, vanilla, milk). Start with two tablespoons of milk and add more if batter looks too dry. I usually use 2 1/2  tablespoons.
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Using a small spoon or small cookie dough scoop, divide the batter into 9-10 equal-sized cookies.
    • Top the cookies with chocolate.
    • Bake 8-10 minutes.

      I really like this recipe. Would it be possible to bake these cookies without any coconut sugar at all?
