Ingredients

1 tbsp mashed banana or applesauce (15 g) this is your egg replacer, no you don't taste it but use (nut) milk if you're absolutely sensitive or allergic
1 tbsp neutral oil (14 g) I use avocado oil, apparently you can even sub (nut) milk - which we found out by accident :)
2 tbsp brown sugar (24 g) sub granulated sugar
1 tbsp granulated sugar (12 g)
1/4 cup flour (30 g) gf all purpose if desired, or even oat flour
1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder (9 g)
1/8 tsp baking soda
drop of vanilla
pinch of salt
1 tbsp sprinkles (12 g)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F and line a cookie sheet with parchment.
In a small bowl using a fork/whisk, rigorously mix together mashed banana, brown sugar, white sugar, drop of vanilla and oil until creamy and fluffy (took me a few min). Add cocoa powder, stir until no clumps remain. (Optional: also add a pinch of espresso powder to amp up the flavor)
In a mug/other bowl mix flour, baking soda, pinch of salt.
Gradually add dry to wet, folding with a spatula or spoon, stopping as soon as you get a nice soft cookie dough. If the dough gets too crumbly add a drop of water.
Make rounds of cookie dough between your palms. Dip each ball of dough in sprinkle and cover completely.
Set on the parchment paper to bake (they will spread so give about at least an inch between the cookies).
Bake 12-13 minutes until the cracks have formed, cool for 5 and enjoy!

Notes

If you don't have a food scale, remember to use the spoon & level method in measuring flour to avoid over-measuring, which will lead to dry cookies.
In one of our test runs we actually forgot to add the oil to the cookie and had to compensate with a bunch of almond milk! The non-fat cookie still tasted good so if you're looking for a non-fat cookie, this is the one!
