Yield: 12 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 ripe banana (medium/small)
1 cup coconut sugar
1/2 cup avocado oil (or sub melted oil or melted coconut oil)
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup gluten-free flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2/3 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven: Set it to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
Mash the banana: In a large mixing bowl, mash your ripe banana until mostly smooth. A few small lumps are fine.
Mix wet ingredients: Add the coconut sugar, avocado oil, egg yolk, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
Add dry ingredients: Stir in the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon until just combined. Don’t overmix.
Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips so they’re evenly distributed.
Scoop and bake: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto your prepared baking sheet. Leave space between each cookie—they spread a little. Add some flakey sea salt if desired.
Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set and the tops are golden. The cookies will be soft but continue to firm up as they cool.
Cool and enjoy: Let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
