Healthy Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until well-blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
