For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate with a higher cocoa percentage. Feel free to add other mix-ins like chopped nuts or dried fruit. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Indulge in guilt-free deliciousness with these moist and flavorful cookies! Naturally sweetened with banana and applesauce, and packed with dark chocolate chunks, these cookies are a delightful treat for any time of day.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
In a large bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Stir in the applesauce and honey until well combined. Add the almond butter, softened butter, and egg. Mix until the wet ingredients are thoroughly incorporated. (5 minutes)
In the same bowl, add the coconut flour, gluten-free oats, dark chocolate chunks, tapioca flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are just moistened and a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)
Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie. (5 minutes)
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the cookies are set. (15 minutes)
Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. (30 minutes)
