Hi.

Healthiest Cookies Pinterest

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

This dough takes two minutes to whip up, so in under 10 minutes, you can be scarfing down delicious coconut flour cookies. And really, check out these stats!

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!

-Kelly M.

    • Really enjoyed these litte gems!!! This was my first time baking with coconut flour. I doubled the recipe and put a few pecans instead of chocolate. Yummy!!! Thanks for a great recipe!!!

        • This was my first time cooking with coconut flour as well! I used your recipe and tweaked to make savory cookies..swapped olive oil for apple sauce, added some nutmeg, lemon zest, sea salt and they were delicious. I put Parmesan cheese on top of a few and they were great that way too!

      • Hi, just tried to make these and they don't stick together at all. I tried adding in more banana but it did almost nothing and I didn't want it to be too banana flavoured so I tried adding more milk. Still nothing.

  4. OMG, brilliant! Coconut flour and I are very good friends, but I never knew how good of friends we could REALLY be! These look awesome. Less than 10 calories... wow. I love this!

  6. I think they mean if you make 16 cookies with the recipe, each will be 6 cals? But then I don't get the 8 or 9 chocolate chips part... Nutritional clarification, please? :D
    Reply

    • Yanna - The cookies are 6 calories each (completely probable, since they are very small). If you put chocolate chips on top of the cookies (like in the pictures), it will add 2 or 3 calories to each cookie, making them 8 or 9 calories each.
      Reply

      • Thank you so much for the questions but I'm sorry for the confusion. Ed is absolutely right. If you make 16 cookies out of this recipe without using chocolate chips, they will be about 6 calories each. If you made 16 cookies with some chocolate chips, they'll be about 8 or 9 calories each. I updated the recipe saying that if you made the cookies bigger (about 8-10 out of the recipe) with come chocolate chips, they'll be about 15 calories each. Thanks again, and I hope this helps! ;)

  8. I made these tonight and the cookie batter was pretty wet. Nothing like the picture. Two questions how much sugar is used and is it really 2 tablespoons of coconut flour? I followed your recipe exact. The only thing I wasn't sure of was sugar since it was under the pinch of salt I just kinda throw some in as well.
    Reply

    • Thank you so much for making thi recipe!!!!! I am so honored! I am also very, very sorry it didn't work out like it should have, but here's what I think happened. Okay, I am almost ready to throw in the coconut flour towel. You are in a long line of people whose coconut flour does NOT absorb the liquid like it is supposed to! In my experiences, coconut flour is like a powdered sponge in how much liquid it will absorb. Obviously, this is not what's happening to everyone else. I use Bob's Red Mill brand, so maybe it varies by brand of coconut flour? What brand of coconut flour did you use? And also, did you add the liquid one tablespoon at a time? For some strange reason, apparently that helps the coconut flour absorb it. And if the dough starts to get too wet, this gives you the opportunity to stop adding liquid, if need be. I'm so sorry again, and I hope this helps!

      • Also, you've forgotten to say *when* to actually add the sugar ... Could you please add that in? Just made these today - very wet (as above), si I just threw in 1/2 T of peanut butter ... YUM!!! and I used minim m&m's :) You're a grain free angel you know!! xx

  10. hey I made these cookies, and for other making it, DON'T TRY CHANGING THE RECIPE!! I was in a rush to make the cookies, so I didn't have time to go to the store and get coconut flour, and then when I had all the ingredients put together, it seemed too liquid... so I added 2 tbsp. of flour... and when they came out of the oven they tasted like pancakes... but now I'm going to try again and see if it'll work better with the original recipe... which it probably will...

    • Thank you do much for trying my recipe, and for the input! I haven't tried making these with regular flour, and now I know I won't. Just a word of warning: coconut flour can be tricky to deal with. I did it post answering questions about it here, and I hope it's helpful. I hope they turn out better next time, and have a fantastic day!

    • Thanks for the question, Virginia! Honestly, I really wouldn't substitute shredded coconut for shredded coconut flour. Coconut flour can be very finnicky to work with, and I have a post about it here, where I put link to where you can buy it. I know it can be pricey and hard to find, but its's great stuff! I hope this helps! ;)

  12. Hey! great recipe! thanks so much! I just wanted to leave a few little remarks about this! I am two weeks into grain/gluten free! feeling great BUT I WANT DOUGHY THINGS!!!!!!!! hehe, its going well, and now that I have started using coconut flour(as of yesterday) I am feeling pretty happy about this decision. First, I was reading the comments and I just wanted to note that I use organic coconut flour from the Bulk Barn in Canada it is $0.81/100g.....pretty cheap. It works just as you, Kelly, describe it should! Also, I loved your recipe, but I wanted to make more, and I had leftover banana, so I did a 3X batch and added 2 Tbsp of butter rather then 2 of banana, I also used maple syrup as sweetener( my stevia has ran away) and added vanilla, I used coconut milk for my liquid. Mind turned out great also, A little different. Next time I am going to try added shredded coconut! Thank you for the inspiration and great recipe! You are keeping me grain/gluten free! Ashley

    • You are AMAZING. This is such a wonderful comment! Thank you so much! Congragulations on going grain/gluten free! I avoid grains/gluten (or consume in small quantities) because I just feel a lot better that way. What about you? So... coconut flour is totally a friend of ours! But 0.81 for 100 grams?!? Can I come stay with you? Thank you sooooo much for making this recipe. I really and truly appreciate it so much. I hope you have a lovely day!

    • I tried this recipe a second time and I am not sure its turning out right - might try the 2 tbsp of butter instead of the banana next time and see if I have better luck with it turning more cookie like. I get something looking like more like uncooked dough for some reason after even 12 mins of baking :( Second batch tasted better though.
      Reply

      • First off, thank you so much for making this recipe and I am very sorry it isn't working out correctly for you! I'm the first to admit these cookies are definitely on the doughy side in nature, so just know that when you try them. They also aren't very much like traditional cookies, so adding the butter instead of the banana would probably make them more traditional tasing. Thanks again, and I hope this helps!

  14. Hi! I’m really really excited to share this recipe with you. I love love love pancakes, but due to certain circumstances I’ve been trying to avoid gluten and starches. Every pancake recipe I’ve come across either uses wheat or a significant amount of starch. So I decided to try my own, and I think I’ve finally got it! I don’t have time to start a food blog (I hope I can in the future-your blog is inspiring!) But I really want to share this recipe with people out there who might run into the same problem as I did. I’d really appreciate it if you could try this and share it if you like it! Thanks! 1 cups gluten free oat flour 1/2 cup coconut flour 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon xylitol (or any other natural/healthy sugar sub. You can also just use white sugar if you need to) 1 1/4 cup milk (I sub water. Also, coconut oil absorbs moisture like crazy so I just add water until I get the traditional watery pancake batter texture) 1 egg (I’ve never tried this with a commercial egg replacement, but I think it will work. Chia seeds ,however, do not. 3 tblsp. extra virgin olive oil Cook and eat! Thanks again! Also, I’ve found that the oatmeal+coconut mix works well substituted into any pancake recipe!

  15. I have a few quick changes to make to the recipe. It should be 2 eggs, 1/2 tsp of baking powder and 3.4 teaspoon of baking soda. I tried it again this morning and found that too much of the bp and bs made a slightly bitter taste. It makes 8 servings. I hope you like it :)

  16. So I made these cookies last night, and let me just tell you.. that they were amazing! so soft and tasty and so easy to make! They were so good that my mom (who usually hates all of my vegan baking ) really enjoyed them to! When making these the only thing I did different was left out the salt and didn't add any sweetener. I can't wait to try more of your recipes<3

  20. I made these today and they turned out perfect! I used 3 little mini chocolate chips to top them and they turned out amazing. The coconut flour was Bob's Red Mill and I used 2% milk. I think the secret is the adding of the liquid 1 at a time. Thanks for the recipe!!!
    Reply

  21. Thank you for the starter recipe, I had nowhere to begin with the coconut flour. Made neat little Apple Walnut cookie bites, 1 dozen. Added 3 Tbsp self rising wheat flour to the coconut flour, increased the applesauce to 1/3 cup, added 2 Tbsp coconut manna, (I used Stevia extract powder, one level teaspoon for sweetenter). YOU ROCK!!! Came out perfect! Baked them a little longer, 18 mins., but at 325 and on an insulated cookie sheet. Do you by any chance know the glycemic index for coconut flour? I can't find it anywhere.

    • Yaaay! I am so glad I could help you in your coconut flour quest! Unfortunately, I am far from a GI expert so I am probably the wrong person to ask. I can give you the net calories and carbs of coconut flour, but not the GI. Sorry!

  25. Hi Kelly, loved these cookies, they turned out perfect. I want to make them as Christmas cookies, maybe I'll decorate them with colored sugar. Do you think they freeze well? I'd love it if I could bake them in advance.
    Reply

    • Yay! Thank you so much for making these cookies! I love the idea of decorating them. I only freeze these cookies in advance when I plan on eating them frozen, so I'm not sure how well they would thaw.

  26. Thankyou! i will be getting some coconut flour online soon but till then i just used what i had..im not sure how you got 16 cookies i got 8 that look the size of yours but i guess photo's can be deceiving.. Any way my point was although i'm sure mine didn't turn out quite like yours, they did turn out like little banana choc chip pancake pillows and they are so tasty fresh and warm from the oven...its genius! Thankyou for the original recipe and thankyou universe for the "mistake" that has now lead me to pancake pillows :D it has been a great day. Keep creating!

  27. couple of questions, 1-- will these keep for a day, i want to bake ahead for a potluck 2-- how much sugar "to taste"? i dont mind some sugar but didnt know where to start. thanks so much
    Reply

    • HI Laura! Yes, these will definitely keep for at least a day. As for swetener I usually use between 1-2 packets of stevia, but it really depends on how sweet you like things and what sweetener you use. If using sugar, I would start with a packet or so and go from there, making sure you taste along the way, or course. ;) Vegan cookie dough won't hurt you!

  29. Where is the full recipe? I only see the recipe that has 2Tbs of flour...not enough to make a batch of cookies! Let me know..these sound great!
    Reply

    • Thank you for the question! This has definitely been a point of concern, and I will have a recipe that yields a larger batch published in the near future. Meanwhile, yes, this is the "full" recipe. Coconut flour absorbs quite a bit of liquid and this reipe yields more than it would seem. I'm sorry for the confusion, and thanks again!

  31. 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.

  32. 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!

  33. 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.

  39. Yay a cookie I can eat!! I'm on a very strict version of paleo (no nuts, raw fruit or nightshades in addition to everything else) but I was just CRAVING a cookie. I can't use sugar in any form so I added a few drops of vanilla for the oomph the stevia might have provided and made 'large' cookies. I made 6 and put them in the oven before reading that I should have made more. Oops. They didn't bake all the way but I didn't care. :) the flavor is very good and I'm excited to have something for a little occasional treat! Oh and I followed your directions and ate the whole batch... Eh, what're you gonna do ;)

  42. Hi, thanks for this looovely recipe! I made these just a second ago(eating them all right now), and something went wrong though. I left them for almost 20 min in the oven, because they did not seem to get any harder, they stayed soft and non-cookie-ish. So they are more like little cakes, with amaaaazing taste! Next time I will try to add a little less milk, the batter might have been to wet, and I want real cookies, not soft ones! :P

  43. Taste amazing, but mine turned out like a cookie looking soft muffin?? Wondering if they are supposed to go crunchy or hard? Could I have one wrong with making 4 batches together?
    Reply

  44. Thank you for this recipe. I was just looking for a way to use my fresh coconut flour (that I make myself, from the coconuts in my yard). After I grind my fresh coconut and drain it to make coconut milk/cream, I spread the coconut pulp on a cookie sheet, dehydrate it in the oven, then put it in the food processor to grind it up. I think my flour has more oil content than commercial coconut flour, and as such, doesn't absorb much liquid. Because of this, my mix came out very runny. I just kept adding more of my coconut flour until it became a "drop-cookie" consistency, then baked it according to the recipe. I didn't need to add sugar, because the banana was ripe and sweet, and I didn't have any chocolate chips. But my husband and I really enjoyed the cookies, and I'm getting ready to make another batch. This time I'll add less milk and see how they turn out. Thanks very much for the recipe!

  46. So I tried making theses and they didnt bake well... I baked then for about 15 minutes and they were a little too crispy so I thought, "oh it's probably just me...

I followed the recipe just like u wrote it, so I'm not sure what the problem was...

  47. Little tip; up the anty from a healthy perspective and use these as a meal rather than snack. I've been using coconut flour for cookies for a long time and the key is thinking of them as a solid smoothie. I make these big beautiful chocolate chip cookies that have negative carbs, no artificial anything and tons of protein. Coconut flour is where it all starts... I dropped almost 40 pounds with them

  57. I think you might eliminate some of the inconsistent results if you measure the coconut flour by weight. I always end up converting all my gluten free flour recipes to weight (in grams) instead of volume. It really makes a difference. I tried weighing a few tablespoons of coconut flour on a digital food scale, and found that they varied between 7 - 10 grams each. The variance comes from how compacted the flour is when it is measured. Even trying to be consistent, I was getting different weights. Since a little bit of coconut flour goes a long way, just a bit too much or too little might throw a recipe off. The cookies turned out pretty good. My son rated them an 8 out of 10, so we will be making them again. Thanks.

  59. Made these cookies and it was my first time ever using coconut flour. The dough was kind of dry, so I added more almond milk, but then the cookies didn't bake at all. I had them in the oven for 17 minutes and they still came out the same as when I put them in. Should I just strictly stay to the recipe no matter what? What did I do wrong? Thanks.
    Reply

    • Hi Lexi! I am so sorry these aren't working out like they should. I know how tempting it is to add more liquid, but you almost never should. Exactly how dry was the mixture? Unless there was any flour that wouldn't be incorporated, just bake as is and the cookies will firm up. Hope this helps!

      • I figure out what I did wrong. It's not what I first thought, but now I know. I will for sure try this recipe again. I've made your peanut butter dough and it's delicious. I love peanut butter, but it's high in calories, so it's nice you had a low cal recipe that uses that ingredient. Thank you for your wonderful low cal recipes. You are a life saver.

Next time I'll go easy on the banana or even use applesauce. I was surprised to see I actually had all the ingredients at hand!

      • Hi, unlike most of these comments, I am straight-up trying to lose weight, so THANK YOU, YOU ROCK MY WORLD, and save my sanity, because 8 weeks into low carb I look 20 pounds lighter but I could marry a potato if one proposed. Anyway, I just made these and added 2 tablespoons of tahini for fat and for a nutty taste. I can't say it turned out like a cookie, but whatever they are, I ate half of them and feel more satisfied than I have in ages.

  69. Hi Kelly, Thanks for this recipe, I completely messed it up, didn't have any coconut flour so used wheat flour and rolled oats, also forgot the milk.... actually looked great and taste was ok, not the worst thing I've ever eaten, but hey let's not go there, will try to find coconut flour and give it another go. Thanks again

  70. I made these and they are divine! Soft, moist but without the heaviness of butter, oil, etc. I used Bob's Red Mill coconut flour and the consistency was perfect. I have never written in a comment on a foodie website before, but had to let everyone know how awesome these really are. I have since tripled the batch and made so many more. However, I appreciate the small batch size to help with portion control. They are so fragrant in the oven too!

  71. Thank you so much for this recipe! I kind of ate the whole batch lol but it's better than eating crap, right? Even my dad, who hates any healthy baking, loved them! I don't have stevia so I added a little honey. This was my first experience with coconut flour and it was so delicious! I have some eating problems and love to bake, so you are so helpful. Now I'm eyeing your avocado pound cake to make! Thanks again!

  72. I am going to attempt these cookies today using Banaban coconut flour and hope it will work.

What a dream to find so many allergy free recipes! I have to ask what brand stevia you use, I've had bad luck in the past and don't want to rush to whole foods and make the same mistake all over again! You're a doll, keep up all the wonderful work!

    • Mae, you completely made my day. Thank you so much, and welcome aboard! I use NuNaturals stevia, and it is the absolute best. I'm not sure you can get it at Whole Foods, but I get mine online at iherb.com (you can use coupon code EFI540). Hope this helps!

  75. These were good, small, but good. Some of them stuck together and some just crumbled into crumbs, which would work as a topping for Ice cream. I used sea salt, unsweetened apple sauce and I did not use any sweetener.

  76. This is a fantastic recipe, Kelly you're an absolute gem! I just wanted to say that -I searched for a while to find cheap coconut flour to make these- I found a $4.80 bag of Nutiva coconut flour here: http://www.iherb.com/Nutiva-Coconut-Flour-1-lb-454-g/45663#p=1&oos=1&disc=0&lc=en-US&w=nutiva%20coconut%20flour&rc=112&sr=null&ic=1 with a $5 discount of the end total price if you submit the following code: HFT344. I ended up buying 4 bags and I can't wait to make all the cookies in the world!

  77. Just made this - are they supposed to be wet and mushy? Baked exactly as directed, and these are not what I'd call cookies. They taste good, just definitely nowhere near cookie texture. More like little bread pudding circles :)

  84. Hi there, what a great way to use coconut flour! I'm still new at using coconut flour. I notice you incorporated a sweetener as part of the recipe but wasn't sure when to add that part in as it was not in the directions part.

  85. I don't know if I'm liking the taste of coconut flour. I think I might try this again with almond flour. Also, were these cookies supposed to get crunchy? Mine didn't at all, and were a bit on the mushy side even though my dough wasn't runny at all! >_<

  86. I baked these with a pinch of cardamom and they were very tasty. I do have a question, I've so far only used 2 T of almond milk which provides a dense sticky dough and the liquid all seems to absorb well. I'm still having trouble getting these to firm up in the oven, any suggestions?

    • Cardamom sounds like a delicious addition, Katie! Spicing things up is always fun;-) These cookies are soft in nature, so if you're looking for a crispier cookie this recipe: might be more suited to your taste! Otherwise, perhaps try upping the temp to 400 degrees(while keeping a close eye on the oven, of course) and see if that helps them set! Also, what kind of coconut flour do you use?

  87. These are terrific! I substituted pumpkin purée for the applesauce because I really wanted pumpkin cookies, and I added a splash of vanilla extract, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a dash of ginger. They turned out great, not like normal cookies, but great anyway!

    • Thank you so much for cookin' these cookies, Lauren! Great substitution idea; pumpkin makes everything better! & You're right-these aren't normal cookies; they're cool cookies;-)

  90. I was so excited to make this recipe!! Unfortunately, they didn't turn out how I expected at all.. This was my first shot at using coconut flour. I've seen so many great things about it, I was very eager to try! I'm so disappointed in my result!! I used applesauce bc all of the bananas I have are frozen, & I added cacao nibs. My batter was not runny at all, but my cookies turned out extremely mushy.. I put them back in the oven for another 10 MINUTES! Which didn't help a bit, they're still mushy & have this really weird texture.. Idk what I possibly could've done wrong! I'm so sad these didn't work out as great as so many other commenters did!

  91. Do you know the total carbohydrates and dietary fiber in the cookies? Also, would almound flour be a good substitute for coconut flour or would the consistansy not be the same?

  92. Hi Kelly! First of all, I love your blog. And I love these cookies! You are a culinary genius. I'm so jelly. I mean, why can't I be that good at 16? I can't do anything without an exact recipe, and I have been baking ever since I remember myself... - Oh wait, nobody cares. I'm just a random comment on the internet. Anyways, I have a problem with these cookies: I screw them up. I don't know how, the dough is great, but when I put it in the oven... Well, they start a war. a war between wether to get baked, or not. Unfortunately they can't suffer each other so they instantly divide the cookie into two parts: the upper part who is pretty stubborn but eventually agrees to bake a little, and the lower part which hates to be eaten, and so chooses to ignite the citizens of cookietown ("You won't get us alive!") They're burnt down and still soft up. I just want to eat a perfectly-baked, perfectly-shaped, perfectly-flavoured, perfectly-healthy and natural cookie.(I am willing to settle for pretty healthy, fine-baked cookie). I tried everything I can think of: lowering the temperature (we use Celsius here, it should be ~170°C), Putting the pan higher, turning on only up, making thinner cookies... I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I did everything the way the recipe calls... Can you help? BTW I love you now. Let's be friends!

  93. The cookies were a bit interesting. The dough didn't taste that great (both applesauce and banana based). When I baked them, they stayed like uncooked dough, no matter how long I cooked them. And the end flavor wasn't that good. My cookies didn't look like the picture, and I tried making these plus the peanut butter ones, either turned out good. :(

  95. Thank you so much for this recipe! I have a high quality organic coconut flour, and cooked them for 15 minutes but even though they taste yummy, they still came out like uncooked dough. Should I add less almond milk next time perhaps? The dough wasn't overly wet - I was able to roll all the cookies into little balls first with no problem. Any thoughts?

    • Hi Nellie! Did you add the almond milk one tablespoon at a time? That way it gives the coconut flour more time to absorb the liquid and you can also stop adding liquid once the dough has reached the correct texture. Hope that helps!

  96. Have you tried to put a TBSP of PB2 powder? give it a peanut butter taste? Also Would egg white be able to substitute for banana? If so one or two egg whites?

  97. I was looking for recipes to use the coconut flour that I bought this week for $.39/2 lb bag at my local food outlet (for real...thirty-nine cents, not expired)! I found the same recipe but made in the microwave. I made 9 cookies and they came out perfectly at 1 minute of baking.

  99. These are currently cooling as we speak first time making cookies with coconut flour. Added an egg instead of the sauce some cinnamon and a little vanilla. Almost added some good cacao powder too but didn't want to stray too much. They smell great and I'm sure the'll taste good too. Thanks for the recipe!

  101. Thank you! I made these with pumpkin this morning and ate one before they cooled. I couldn't resist...the kitchen smelled like pumpkin pie. First, I also added cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and sprinkled a bit of xanthum into the flour. Beautiful texture and tasted amazing, especially after cooling. Now to whip some coconut cream :)
