Snickerdoodles have always been one of my favorite cookies that bring me right back to my childhood! My mother makes the best snickerdoodles, which inspired me to write a recipe that was vegan and healthy. If you love snickerdoodles, you will LOVE these lightened up vegan version of the classic cookies.

Snickerdoodle cookies should be soft, chewy, and should be rolled in cinnamon-sugar. And you will be happy to hear that this recipe hits the mark for all three of those things! Plus, these cookies are beyond easy to make! You just need a handful of simple ingredients and one bowl.

Recipe Notes

The base for these cookies was inspired by my recipe for Almond Flour Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies. The main ingredients in this recipe are banana and almond flour.

Almond flour helps ensure that these cookies are soft and chewy, while the banana gives these cookies a natural source of sweetness. It is important to note that the banana you are using should be overripe to produce the sweetest cookie possible. I also advise adding an extra teaspoon or two of maple syrup for a little extra sweetness in these cookies, but it is optional!

Of course, these perfect cookies are rolled in a simple cinnamon-sugar mixture before going into the oven. I used granulated white sugar, but you may use coconut sugar for this step if that is what you prefer.

Almond Flour Banana Cookie Recipe Breakdown

These secretly healthy cookies make the perfect snack, dessert, or breakfast treat! They are chewy and full of banana flavor and chocolate chips in every bite. Plus, they can be made in less than 20 minutes! All you will need for this recipe is a few simple ingredients. The base of this recipe is made from almond flour and overripe mashed banana.

It is important that you use almond flour in this recipe rather than almond meal. Almond meal will not produce the same texture if used in this recipe. Another important note is that you want to ensure the bananas you are using are overripe. You want them to be as ripe as possible in order to produce the sweetest cookie possible since that is where all of the sweetness in this recipe comes from.

If would like a slightly sweeter cookie, you may add a teaspoon or two of maple syrup to the dough.

This recipe is extremely simple and versatile. If you don’t want to add chocolate chips to these cookies, white chocolate and peanut butter chips will both also work well here!

One last note is that these cookies do not spread much in the oven so it is important to shape or flatten them into whatever thickness you desire.

Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite cookie. They are so simple, yet so perfect. There is nothing better than a warm chocolate chip cookie fresh out of the oven. Although, there are many different types of chocolate chip cookies. One way to categorize cookies is by texture. Thin and crispy or thick and chewy. Personally, I love them both! But if you love thick and chewy chocolate chip cookies, then you will love this recipe. Warning: the following recipe is seriously addicting!

Why this recipe works

These Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies are perfectly soft, chewy, and filled with chocolate in every bite.

Almond Flour and Oat Flour work together in this recipe to make extra chewy cookies. Almond flour has a high-fat content, which helps ensure these cookies have a thick and chewy texture. If you do not have almond flour, almond meal will also work in this recipe. Extra bonus: both of these flours are gluten-free!

Coconut oil and natural nut butter also help add to the thick and chewy texture of these decadent cookies. You can use any nut or seed butter that you would like. I have only used peanut butter and tahini, both worked wonderfully!

Maple syrup provides a natural source of sweetness in these healthier vegan cookies. If you like a sweeter cookie, try the batter and adjust the level of maple syrup to taste. Chocolate chips also help add to the sweetness of these cookies. I love using trader joe’s chocolate chips because they are cheap, made with vegan ingredients, and so delicious!
