Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Wooden Spoon
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
Ingredients
- ½ Cup Refined Coconut Oil, soft but not melted
- 1 ¼ Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Molasses
- 7 tablespoon Mashed Banana this is about 1 small banana, but use the volume amount
- 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 ¼ Cups All Purpose Flour
- ¾ teaspoon Baking Soda
- ¾ teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 Cup Chopped Chocolate or Chocolate Chips I used a combination of both
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Line a baking tray with parchment.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or in a large bowl with a wooden spoon, combine coconut oil, sugar and molasses. Mix until well combined and fluffy.
- Add mashed banana and vanilla. Stir well.
- Add flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Stir until just combined.
- Add chopped chocolate or chocolate chips and stir to distribute.
- Using a ¼ Cup measuring cup that has been sprayed with nonstick spray, scoop 8 ¼ cup portions of dough onto the tray. Roll each mound into a ball between the palms of your hands. Space the dough balls evenly, then give them a gentle press so that they don't roll around. See photo for reference.
- Bake in a 350* oven for 17-19 minutes or until they are golden brown and the edges are set. Allow to cool on the baking tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat with remaining dough.
- Store in an airtight room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to a month.
