Reduced Fat Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are a classic dessert, but they are typically high in fat. This recipe reduces fat by more than 66% compared to traditional recipes by using a banana to substitute a stick of butter and by using mini chocolate chips!
Ingredients
- 1 3/8 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 medium banana (~1/2 cup mashed banana)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Mix flour, baking soda, and salt into a small bowl.
- In a large bowl, mash the banana until it has a consistent texture (I used an overripe banana I had frozen, letting it thaw for about an hour).
- Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla to the large bowl and mix.
- Add and beat egg into large bowl.
- Add mini chocolate chips into large bowl.
- Gradually add flour mix into the large bowl.
- Spoon onto a cookie sheet and bake for about 10 minutes.
