I am in love with these cookies and could probably eat an entire batch with coffee or tea. They are pillowy soft, low in sugar and loaded with walnuts, banana and chocolate!

Ingredients in This Recipe

  • ground flaxseed
  • cold water 
  • mashed spotty-brown banana
  • melted coconut oil
  • maple syrup
  • whole wheat pastry flour
  • baking soda
  • vegan chocolate chips
  • chopped walnuts

KITCHEN TOOLS TO PURCHASE TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

  • mixing bowls
  • silicone spatula set
  • parchment paper
  • cookie sheet pan
  • wire cooling rack
  • food storage meal prep containers
4 step process how to make chunky monkey cookies

Something that makes these cookies very unique is their soft and moist texture. The whole wheat pastry flour is really the secret to this texture. The pastry flour makes the cookies airy rather than dense. I do not recommend substituting another flour for this recipe. You can purchase it from any major grocery store or I added an Amazon link above.

How To Store These Cookies

Store the cookies in an airtight container on the counter for a couple of days or place into the freezer for up to 3 months.

      Hi Bradley, almond flour cannot be used as a 1:1 sub, but if you are looking for an almond flour cookie recipe I recommend my Classic Chocolate Chippers "https://hellofrozenbananas.com/classic-chocolate-chippers/" 🙂

      Hi Ellie! You could substitute whole wheat flour, but I have found that whole wheat pastry flour has a better texture and lighter taste. You can grab it at your local supermarket. Bob's Red Mill Brand 🙂 – Krista <3
