YUM YUM YUM! These cookies. Are. Awesome. Very cookie-dough-like. I’ve found that the key to using coconut flour is adding a lot of moisture, so the banana, milk, and coconut oil really lend to the moist consistency (in fact, that’s how I can fix the crumble-factor in my Coconut Macadamia Cookies).
Here are the nutritional stats for 13 cookies:
THREE CHEERS FOR COOKIES!!
Enjoy your Thursday, dollbabes

- Do you prefer crispy/crunchy or soft/chewy cookies?
Um, YUM!!!! A cookie with a moist, chewy cookie dough consistency sounds like heaven.
Coconut banana chocolate chip. Slurp. Drool. Yum. I don’t know where to get coconut flour but I will put it on my to-do list!
Oh I’m all about a soft chewy cookie. I purposely take a minute or 2 off of the suggested oven time so they will be a tiny bit doughy in the middle. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with cookies for breakfast! I’ve done it many times.
Those look amazing!! I want to bake them tonight!
omg can you make these times like five and bring them when you come next weekend?!?!? =)
Cookies for breakfast sound like the jam to me! I’m a huge fan of the soft/chewy cookies. My caf at college used to bake “Fresh, Hot Cookies” daily and they were amazinggg!!!
You are hands down the most GORGEOUS cookie monster ever
As soon as I read the post title, my mouth started to water! I love the banana chocolate flavor combo. I must try these now!
OMG, these look fantastic! I’m making these…and nobody try to stop me!
Those look too easy to not try! Those choco chip cookies are bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s!
omg those look like cookiedough!! haha you are so freakin cute!
hey pretty girl! love the cookies. they look so doughy!! mmm. quick question - what did you use to calculate the nutritional stats? i mean i know you can just add it up and divide, but did you use a site to type it in? i have used livestrong.com before, but wanted to see other options! thanks! have a great thursday and weekend!
These look awesome. And to answer your question: No, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with cookies for breakfast once in a while!
me love cookies. cookies for breakfast. For dinner. for lunch. for anytime. so this is right up my alley. But how - oh how - do you keep from eating that whole decadent bunch:) And I like crunchy - i htink. but really - as long as it’s a cookie - it doesn’t matter. And you couldn’t be more right re: cocunt. I find the SAME THING>
Those look awesome!!
I like cookies that are soft. I don’t even mind if they are all the way done…or even just dough. mmmmmmm
I love banana chocolate combo! I find that banana cookies tend to be too cakey, so I’d like to try your recipe.
these sound so delicious and SO healthy!!!
Jessica @ Rawtumn says
Definitely a soft/chewy fan! These have all my favorite ingredients and more, will for sure be trying these out in the near future, thanks! =D
Umm chocolate, coconut and banana? Yes please! Girl you always have the best recipes!!
Soft & chewy. Is the other even an option?? I need to get on this coconut flour thing STAT.
I love ALL cookies, though they are not created equally - they all belong in this world. Even the much hated Fig Newton!
BTW: Its nice to see both of your beautiful eyes, one is usually hiding.
Amy says
I think you took all my favourite foods/flavours and put them in a cookie!!
(:
THEY.SOUND.DELISH.

I’m a fan of the chewy cookie. I will say, I think eating cookies for breakfast is COMPLETELY normal and I plan on doing it this weekend
I love you Gracie. Seriously, cookies for breakfast? I don’t think it gets any better than that! Those cookies look and sound amazing!
YUM! Adding this to my list of recipes to try. Thanks for sharing.
They look like cookie dough — perfectly YUM!

Elli says
Wow those look amazing! I like both crunchy and chewy cookies but I definitely prefer chewy.
um…bookmarked for this weekend! They look delicious and you look beautiful of course!
Wow! Those look sooo good!!
1 cup of milk IN cookies - odd. They sound delicious!
YUM! These look absolutely perfect. I’ve been meaning to try coconut flour. Why not add to my ever growing collection of flours. If I could eat these though I’ll deal!
These look SOOOOO delicious!!! I love every ingredient… too bad I don´t have coconut oil or almond milk
But I do have a lot of coconuts growing in my yard… could I make it myself?…
I prefer soft and chewy cookies over hard and crunchy any day! Mmmmm.
I am sitting at my desk at work right actually drooling. not really but these do look so fab!
Those cookies are my absolute ideal consistency! I’ve never used coconut oil before, but that just may be the trick!
Wow. These look insanely good. Really really good. I must make these this weekend! Very nice. Not many ingredients either and the use of coconut flour is great- since I have some chillin’ in the fridge!
I just wanted to let you know that I made these this weekend (and blogged them here: http://www.whatrunslori.com/2010/08/bananas-are-a-girls-best-friend/) but they were really good! Easy too. Thanks for the recipe! Mine came out great except for really crumbly and not as dense as yours… interesting… but I will be making these again!
Steffanie says
Oh my I just made these cookies!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! but I don’t know why they are a little crumbly, but its ok cuz they are tooooo good! can’t wait to make more of your recipes! I use to spend so much money on buying pre made goodies, and its much better making them myself with love;)
Eleanor@eatinglikeahorse says
I’m definitely going to make these but had a real airhead moment when I saw the nutrition and thought that was the total for 13 cookies; you’d be on to a million-pound-worth recipe if it was!
Those cookies look stunning! Have you ever tried these in ice cream , or even in banana ice cream, to make cookie dough ice cream?
Just made these chocolate chip coconut cookies ad they came out great! Thank U for the recipe. I added protein powder to the mix as well as fruit- YUM!
Ohh yum!! Glad you liked them!
I am a fairly new reader, but I saw your guest post on Une Vie Saine and had to make these cookies! They are delicious, I have already eaten three! I have also made the cake batter blondies which are to die for, and just wanted to tell you I love your blog!
wahooo, glad you like ‘em!
Thanks so much for the sweet comment, girlie! xoxo G
Noon says
I made these today and they were delicious but just a bit too crumbly. I substituted the mashed banana for 1/2 cup of applesauce, I’m not sure if that made it more crumbly. Everyone enjoyed them and could not believe how healthy they are. Thank you so much for sharing.
Glad everyone enjoyed them! Yes - I’m assuming the apple sauce instead of the banana made them more crumbly because the banana gives a more creamy consistency
But good to know applesauce would work as well!
Yum! These look so good! I need to stock up on some coconut flour again so I can make these.
Christi says
I followed the recipe exactly. Was very excited from the reviews. They were awful! Coconut flour is like sand, they fell apart and crumbled after cooked. Very disappointed…
Jessica says
Tried this recipe exactly as written. Did not turn out good. Dough was way too dry and crumbly. But I kept it and baked per instructions. Finished cookies were really dry and crumbly too. Needs more moisture or binding agents.
sorry to hear that, Jessica! it could depend on the coconut flour you used, as well as your oven. next time i would add more almond milk
LM says
Worst cookies ever! Non edible, had to throw the entire batch in the trash!
Heather says
Thoughts on why mine turned out all crumbly? I could hardly get them off the pan to the cooling rack. The edges were nicely browned. Even my 4 year old said, “I think they needed an egg.” Thoughts to remedy this?
Gracie says
hehehehe I will definitely bring a batch! Remind me a couple of days before
I’M SO EXCITED!!!
Gracie says
aww thanks sweetie!! <3
Gracie says
hey lady!! I used SparkRecipes.com
Yup, it’s a lot of milk huh? It’s because coconut flour is usually pretty dry (it has a lot of fiber) so it requires a lot of liquid/moistness to be added!
