Tips for making Gluten-Free Coconut Flour Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies:

  • Due to the unique nature of coconut flour, I do not recommend substituting it with anything else.

  • Don’t want to use bananas? You can substitute the banana with 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey, 1/4 cup applesauce or yogurt, or for a completely sugar-free diabetic and KETO friendly treat, use a sugar-free sweetener such as this one AND omit the tapioca starch.

  • The tapioca flour in this recipe can be omitted with only slightly different results texturally.

  • The cookie dough can be covered and refrigerated for up to two days before baking if necessary.

  • You can use any chocolate of your choice, but for a truly no sugar added option that is wholly delicious, I absolutely love these sugar-free 100% chocolate chips from Pascha.

  • These cookies store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. And in my opinion, they taste amazing straight from the fridge!

  1. I was looking for a naturally sweetened banana chocolate chip cookie recipe and stumbled upon this. It was so good! I added extra chocolate chips because that’s my favorite part.

  2. Hi Kristen, yummy recipe, they turned out so tasty! I did not use tapioca flour and made 8 cookies using the recipe and they were all finished within the hour! Would it be ok to double the amount of ingredients for more? Thank you!

  3. Hi and congratulations! great recipies! Can I use flax egg? Poor chickens! MAny thanks.

    1. Hi Daniela — I haven’t tested this particular recipes with flax eggs, but you could give it a go. The challenging part of coconut flour in particular is its strong need for a lot of liquid and a lot of binding power. Unfortunately, eggs are the best thing for getting baked goods to stick together when it comes to working with coconut flour. Flax eggs may work well enough, but keep in mind, it might not hold together as well as the original recipe. I hope this helps. 🙂

  4. Hi! Can I sub baking soda with baking powder? And do you know how long these can last for?

  5. If i omit the tapioca flour, do i need to replace with an equal amount of coconut flour? Many Thanks!!!

    1. Hi Andrea – the recipe is in the recipe card which is right above our comments here. Best!

  6. I could never make great-tasting healthy cookies and sweets before this recipe! Changed my life.
