I followed a basic chocolate chip recipe using two teaspoons of vanilla and one egg. I don't see many other variations. I did add one cup of oats, which I often do and did add almost two full cups of chocolate chips. I often only add one cup, but my helpers vetoed that idea.
I baked 10 minutes at 375 degrees and these have a very nice texture. The banana and butter variation seems more cakey. Banana only (no added fats) are very cakey. I think we will stick with the coconut oil. As my daughter said, coconut oil is good for everything! Even my feet!
These cookies are delicious!
ReplyDeleteI curious about the motivation for replacing butter with coconut oil. Coconut oil has 20% more calories, 23% more fat, and (worst of all) 68% more saturated fat and much less unsaturated fat than butter, so it doesn't seem to be a healthier option.
ReplyDeleteWhat was your inspiration?
Coconut Oil seems to have other good things that I keep hearing about. Also, the texture was better with the banana/oil combination.
