These banana sweetened coconut flour cookies with 100% chocolate chips, make for one healthy no sugar added baked treat without any of the guilt! Gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, low-carb + keto diet friendly.

In an effort to cut down on consuming sugar (even if it’s unrefined 99% of the time!), I took to experimenting with fruit-sweetened baked goods. This result is a beautifully textured, delicious, and ridiculously healthy coconut flour cookie that makes a perfect complement to 100% chocolate chips (or any chocolate of your choice!).

These Healthy Banana Sweetened Chocolate Chip Coconut Flour Cookies are:

• Both soft and dense with a delightfully pillowy melt-in-your-mouth texture.

• Made with nutritious low-carb, high-protein, high-fiber coconut flour (read more about it’s health benefits: HERE).

• Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free (apart from natural fruit sugars!), Soy-Free, Nut-Free and Dairy-Free.

• Quick and easy to make!

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!
