- 1 cup gluten-free flour blend that includes Xanthan gum or Guar gum. I suggest King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure for Measure or Pamela's Gluten-Free All-Purpose Artisan Blend
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp instant coffee grounds
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder I prefer Orgain Organic Protein Powder
- 2/3 cup water
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar or Monkfruit Sweetener for les sugar
- 1/3 cup mashed banana
- 1/4 cup nut butter of choice; I prefer almond or peanut butter
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet allergy-friendly chocolate chips or mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. I used Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Morsels which are allergy-friendly.
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla frosting
Preheat oven to 350
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl combine the first 6 ingredients. Mix well.
In a small bowl add water, sugar, mashed banana, nut butter, and vanilla. Mix well.
Add banana mixture to dry mixture and mix well with a spoon.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Scoop 2 tbsp of dough onto the baking sheet. Flatten slightly. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cookies rest about 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
Freeze and add frosting later, or make sandwich cookies once they have reached room temperature.
