Matcha–Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat lightly with cooking spray.

   Step 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.

   Step 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, vanilla, and sugar (or stevia) to combine. Add the egg (or water) and whisk well to incorporate.

   Step 4

   Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary. Mix in the mashed banana and stir until well incorporated.

   Step 5

   Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the oats and chocolate chips. Sprinkle in the sifted matcha powder and fold in gently.

   Step 6

   Chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

   Step 7

   Using a tablespoon, scoop out 1 1/2-inch balls and place them about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until lightly golden on top, 10 to 13 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
