Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup coconut oil, room temperature
- ⅓ cup (85g) almond butter, can also use any nut butter of choice, or sunflower seed butter or tahini for a nut-free option
- ⅔ cup coconut sugar
- 2 flax eggs, 2 tablespoons flax meal + 6 tablespoons water – whisk them together and let sit for 5 minutes to gel; if you prefer to use eggs, you can use 1 egg + 1 yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda, use ¼ teaspoon if using sunflower seed butter – helps prevent the cookies from turning green when they cool
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup (32g) coconut flour
- ½ cup gluten-free rolled oats
- ⅔ cup (4 oz.) chopped dark chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and lightly grease a 6.5-inch (for a thicker cookie) or 8-inch oven-proof skillet with coconut oil. Set aside.
- In a bowl or stand mixer, beat together the coconut oil, nut butter, and coconut sugar until smooth. Add the flax eggs and vanilla and mix until smooth.
- Add the baking soda, salt, coconut flour, and rolled oats to the wet ingredients. Mix until well incorporated. Fold in the chopped dark chocolate.
- Press the dough into the pan evenly. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
- Let cool for 5 minutes, and serve warm with ice cream and/or other toppings of your choice. Enjoy!
Notes
If you’ll be storing this skillet cookie for more than a day, I recommend removing it from the cast-iron skillet and storing it in a separate airtight container.
You can store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
You can also store it in the freezer for up to six months, just make sure it’s in an airtight container so it doesn’t get freezer-burn.
