Ingredients for 3 Ingredient Coconut Chia Cookies

Chia seeds – Apart of being a great egg substitute this super food is high in protein and omega 3 fatty acids. In addition to being gluten free chia seeds are  high in fiber. Chia seeds are extremely versatile and fits in well in almost any recipe be it sweet or savory.

Banana – Again a great egg substitute. Not only its high in potassium but a fiber rich fruit as well. Banana is delicious and a versatile fruit to be used in any dessert.

Coconut flour – it is  high in fiber, protein as well as  healthy fats. Most importantly coconut flour is gluten free. It’s great for grain free baking.

How to make 3 Ingredient Coconut Chia Cookies

  • Firstly, Isoaked chia seeds in some water for a few minutes.
  • Secondly, in a larger mixing bowl I mashed bananas with a potato masher.
  • Finally, I folded in coconut flour along with soaked chia seeds.
  • Thereafter, I placed about 12 cookies on a greased cookie sheet.
  • Lastly,  baked them in a pre-heated oven for 30 minutes.

My idea behind this recipe was to come up with healthy post wok out recovery food. Rohit has been training for full marathon throughout spring.

Along with protein shakes as well as other energy drinks I wanted to give him some homemade energy foods. I wanted to provide him with a variety of food. Also I wanted to provide him with a  little extra nutritious food for his well-being.

While I was planning for this recipe, I came across many of my friends and relatives who are also  training for some sport activities this season.

At that moment I realized that 3 Ingredient Coconut Chia Energy Cookies would definitely be desirable. The energy cookies would suffice for that extra little nutrition which is sometimes required when training for any sport.

For kids, these serve as a healthy and delicious snack. I served these energy cookies to Yashvi for her evening snack. She totally loved them and hungrily ate 3 cookies. She wanted to save some cookies for later.

Again, over the weekend she requested me to bake some more of this deliciousness. She loves banana. So she kept screaming out of joy expressing her love for these energy cookies.

Her pleasure and excitement encouraged me to share this recipe with you all.

The only caveat of this recipe is that it’s not best looking cookie. However, I guarantee the taste of these cookies. Not to forget its immense health benefits.

My other few ingredient recipes are:

3 ingredients pistachio energy bites

4 ingredient coffee hemp energy bites

    Delicious! I made a second batch adding chopped dates and dessicated coconut. These are fantastic little on the go cakes for Summer. They hold together perfectly. Just wondering how long can i store them in the fridge?

      Wohoo! so glad you liked these….totally love your effort to try these cookies and loving them. I actually never got a chance to refrigerate but I think it will fine for 4-5 days. However, bring them to room temperature by keeping them on the kitchen counter for 20 minutes or simply oven toast for 1 minute. Hope this helps.

        Thank you Gunjan. I think I’ve taken your original inspiring recipe and diverged into cake territory. I’m now adding grated apple and dates and cinnamon to create a kind of lovely vegan sugar free gluten free cake that I can eat straight from the fridge. Delicious. Thank you again for helping to make cooking with chia seeds accessible to me.

      Hi Archer, this recipe is accurate. Chia seeds is used as egg replacer. the basic idea is to soak 1 tbsp chia seeds in 3 tbsp water. Thereafter the measurements changes as per requirements. In this recipe chia seeds is the main ingredient to make these cookies fluffy, soft and chewy. Hence, the mentioned measurements are accurate. Thank you for checking on this.
