Gluten-free chocolate banana cookies

These gluten-free chocolate banana cookies are a delightful treat for those who are avoiding gluten but still want to indulge in something sweet. Made with bananas, coconut milk, and a hint of stevia for sweetness, these cookies are not just tasty but also relatively healthy. They come together quickly and make a perfect snack or dessert for any occasion.

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Prepare Bananas: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Using a fork or a potato masher works well for this step.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the coconut milk to the mashed bananas and mix until well combined. The mixture should be fairly smooth.
4. Add Sweetener: Stir in the stevia leaf sweetener, making sure it's evenly incorporated.
5. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, salt, baking powder, and dry cocoa powder until well combined.
6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a uniform dough forms. The dough should be thick but moist.
7. Portion Dough: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Space the cookies about 2 inches apart. Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of the spoon or your fingers to form cookie shapes.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set and lightly browned.
9. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve: Enjoy your gluten-free chocolate banana cookies as a delightful, healthier treat!

Gluten-free chocolate banana cookies FAQ:

What is the baking time for gluten-free chocolate banana cookies?

Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes at 350°F (175°C). They are done when the edges are set and lightly browned.

How do I know when the cookies are done?

The cookies are done when the edges appear set and lightly browned, while the centers may still look slightly soft but firm up as they cool.

Can I substitute coconut flour with another type of flour?

Coconut flour has unique properties, so it's best to use it as specified. If you need a substitute, consider using almond flour but keep in mind you'll need to adjust the amount as it absorbs moisture differently.

How should I store the cookies?

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.

Is there a way to make these cookies sugar-free?

Yes, the recipe already uses stevia leaf sweetener, which is a sugar-free option. Ensure the stevia is used in accordance with your desired sweetness level.

Tips:

- Make sure the bananas are well-mashed to create a smooth batter.

- If you prefer a sweeter cookie, you can add a little more stevia or use a ripe banana.

- For added texture, consider mixing in some gluten-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts.

- Check the cookies at the 10-minute mark to ensure they do not overbake, as ovens can vary.

- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack to maintain their texture.
