This summer I've been on a chocolate/coconut rave adventure. I don't even really like coconut especially in huge quantities. But with a dash,sprinkle or hint of flavor it tastes just right. Mind you I do not use most leavening agents while baking,read below for more information. Despite this my cookies rise fine.Below are my chocolate chip coconut cookies.If don't mind bananas in your cookies this will be delicious. If you don't like bananas you can substitute with coconut oil or applesauce.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cup smashed bananas
1/4 cup brown sugar
3-4 tbsp of honey /agave or maple syrup
1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
1 egg or a tbsp or (2 of flax seed & water mixed together set aside for a minute or so and then use)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 cup oat flour (I added 3/4 since the banana adds substance.)
1 cup chocolate chips
shredded coconut for a dusting on top (optional)
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.In a bowl cream together your smashed bananas,egg/flax-seed,vanilla extract and sugars. In a separate bowl combine your dry ingredients.Next add in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients a little bit at a time until fully incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips, drop cookie dough with a tablespoon on a non stick pan or parchment paper. Sprinkle coconut on them at this stage if you want it toasted or you can sprinkle it after you out take them out of the oven . Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.Makes about 6-8 cookies depending on size.Let them cool and enjoy!
