Low Carb Banana Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

Banana flour is a unique ingredient but is an excellent addition to low carb dessert recipes and gluten-free baking. Room temperature butter is creamed with brown sugar and granulated sweetener to which fresh eggs are added along with vanilla extract, banana flour, and dark chocolate chips. The resulting batter looks like traditional wheat flour cookies, but you can eat them without the intense insulin spike! These cookies would make a great gluten-free treat for the holidays. How cute would they be packaged in clear cellophane with a bow for a wonderful low carb Christmas treat and gift!

Where can I find banana flour?

You can find banana flour on large online retailers like Amazon or specialty grocery stores.

How long should I whip the dough?

The dough tends to do better when given an ample amount of mixing. Due to the gluten-free nature of banana flour, it is hard to overmix the dough. Be sure to mix the dough for at least a minute at medium speed.

What kind of chocolate chips do the cookies use?

Please use sugar-free chocolate chips, 90% dark chocolate, or Stevia sweetened chocolate chips.
