Calories: 118kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ medium-sized ripe banana
- 2 Tablespoons agave syrup or maple syrup
- 3 Tablespoons applesauce*
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons avocado oil or other neutral-flavored cooking oil
- ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all purpose flour, baking soda, and baking powder with a fork until combined.
- In a separate bowl, smash a banana with a fork until mostly smooth. Add agave syrup, applesauce, vanilla extract, and oil and combine.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until it becomes a dough. Be careful not to overwork it. Add the chocolate chips and combine.
- Using a Tablespoon, scoop the dough onto two parchment paper-covered baking sheets. Lightly press on each cookie, slightly flattening it.
- Bake for ten minutes. Remove the baking sheets from the oven, and carefully put the cookies onto a cooling rack to cool for at least 10 minutes.
Notes
Vegan chocolate chips aren't hard to find. Just read the ingredient labels. I usually buy semi-sweet chocolate chips from Trader Joe's.
If you don't have applesauce, you can substitute it with a flax egg. Whisk 3 Tablespoons of water with 1 Tablespoon of ground flaxseed. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes gelatinous. Then add it to the wet ingredients.
