Hi.
I’m coconut flour.
I’m good at making all things cookie. Cookie dough, anyone?
How about peanut butter cookie dough?
I’m delicious. I’m sweet, nutty, and I absorb all the liquid around me.
I’m expensive, hard to find, and anyone who doesn’t food blog obsessively or stake out a Whole Foods doesn’t know about me.
Yes, it was very nice how Kelly of Foodie Fiasco introduced us. She’s really beautiful, smart, and talented.
So she promised to make me famous. She started with the cookie dough, made a peanut butter version, and now she’s really pushing the envelope.
Baked cookies. Soft, sweet, pillowy chocolate chip cookies.
Wanna live on th edge… the wild side?
Buy me. Don’t hyperventilate over spending $7 on a package of flour. Take me home. Love me.
Bake these cookie with me.
The World’s Healthiest Cookie

Nutritional Info
*Update: There has been some question about the nutritional info, and for clarification, these having only 6 calories each is based upon a bite-sized cookie. If you only make 8 cookies out of this recipe to make them more traditional sized, they will have about 15 calories each. Still a calorie bargain, if you ask me! Thank you so much for your interest!
Per bite based on 16 bites
Calories: 6 (about 8 or 9 with chocolate chips)
Fat: <0.5 grams
Ingredients
2 Tablespoon coconut flour
2 Tablespoon mashed banana or applesauce (I prefer banana. Personally, I think applesauce gives them too much of an apple-y taste. That’s just me.)
pinch salt
stevia or other sweetener, to taste
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
3 Tablespoon almond milk, or milk of choice
chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a small bowl, mix coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Add in masked banana or applesauce and stir. Add in almond milk, one tablespoon at a time until fully incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop dough by tablespoon or teaspoon, depending on how big you want them, on a parchment lined baking sheet. I used a silicone mat. Flatten the dough into cookie shapes.Bake in the oven at 350F for 10 minutes. Let cool before scarfing them all down.
By the way, you are allowed to eat the entire batch.
Enjoy!

Hi, I’ve been doing a mild candida cleanse (nont super intensive because my symptoms were mild and I don’t believe in extreme). I’ve been free from all sweetner (sugar, honey, maple syrup, chemical sweetners) and fruit except for north american berries or tart apples. I needed a treat so I just made these in 3 batches.
Batch 1= Lavendar, sea salt, stevia, applesauce, vanilla bean cookies (they taste like lavendar shortbread)
Batch 2- peanut butter, applesauce
Batch 3= almond butter, applesauce (wish I had some unsweetned carob powder, oh well next time)
Thanks for this recipe, it is a life saver when on a cleanse and just in general a great healthy snack!
Yahoo.
FoodieFiasco, you area shining beacon in my search for vegan sugar-free and low carb treats. I made your cookie recipe as a double batch with 2 changes: I used 1 square of unsweetened baker’s chocolate (melted) and mixed it with 4Tbps puréed carrots. I had some of those funky purple-skinned carrots and the resulting dark purée and sweeter flavour worked great with the chocolate! All other ingredients were simply doubled (4 Tbps coconut flour, 6 Tbsp almond milk, you get the picture). Wow. Fudgy and delicious, really hit the spot for a sweet fix. Thanks so much!
Opi, you made my day with this comment. Thank you very much for trying my cookies, and I am so glad you enjoyed them. Welcome aboard!
I’m a foodie blogger too, and I pride myself on my baking. I’m trying no wheat no sugar for a month or so and I’m on a quest to find a cookie that my hubby will eat…… so one that still tastes like a treat.
I just made these. My toddler ate half and tried to give it to the baby, who licked it then smeared it in her hair. My husband ate one and said the texture weirded him out and the stevia left a funny taste. I’ll eat the rest because it’s as close to a treat as I’ll get today!
Do you have something else in your repertoire that will dazzle my family???
I did use the coconut flour with Chinese Five Spice as a coating on my fish for dinner last night, and that was awesome, so I think the coconut flour is worthy of experimentation.
I think I have just enough coconut flour to make these happen tonight!
Great recipe! I’ve been looking for something grain/dairy/nut/egg-free to make for my daughter’s first birthday, and had given up. I’m totes making these!
a single choco chip has like 15 calories, and I donno how you guys are getting 16 cookies that size from 2 tablespoons flour…also peanut flour is a good option for the recipe,,,,peanut butter cookies !
Hi Andrew! I use a teaspoon measure to make the cookies. Just as a heads up, I’m not sure subbing in peanut flour for coconut flour would work.
Just made these with my fussy daughter and they are amazing!
Big big thumbs up from both of us!
We use a whole banana.
Thank you so much Laura!
