The easiest 6 ingredient banana coconut cookies! Gluten free, vegan, and lower in sugar!
Ingredients
Scale
2 ripe and spotty bananas, mashed
3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup gluten free rolled oats
1/4 cup peanut butter (sub any nut or seed butter)
1/4 cup coconut sugar*
1 tsp vanilla extract
Good pinch of sea salt
1/2 cup dairy free chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients besides the chocolate chips until well-combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Batter will be sticky- that’s ok!
Spoon out batter about 1.5 tbsp at a time on you parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 15-17 minutes. Allow to cool before serving. Store leftovers on the counter in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
*If you want, you can skip the coconut sugar to keep these free of added sugars (besides the chocolate chip). The result will be a very subtly sweet cookie, just fyi!

These were so easy and delicious!! Perfect for an afternoon or after dinner treat. Going to be my go to healthy snack because they are made from staple ingredients in my kitchen. Thank you!
These are so good. I keep these in the fridge and they taste like cookie dough because of how chewy they are even though I cooked them for the full time suggested. The ingredients are so simple and come together so easily!
easy and delicious, just whipped up a batch for my 13 yo and his sleepover friend….maybe a tad less sugar next time, but they gobbled them up!
thank you1
