Easy Chocolate Coconut Biscuits (gluten-free + healthy!)
These fudgy chocolate coconut biscuits are made with only seven ingredients, in one bowl and are ready in only 20 minutes! They're naturally gluten-free, paleo and healthy, yet you wouldn't guess it! They taste like a fudgy, decadent brownie cookie!
Equipment
- Large Baking Tray
Ingredients
- 75 g Coconut Flour ½ cup
- 15 g Cocoa Powder 2 tbsp
- ¼ tsp Baking Soda
- 2 Eggs room temperature
- 100 g Maple Syrup room temperature
- 50 g Coconut Oil, melted ¼ cup
- 60 g Dark Chocolate + 1 tsp Coconut Oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C / 350°F / 160°C fan and prepare a large baking tray or cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Add your coconut flour, cocoa powder and baking soda to a mixing bowl and mix to combine. Use a whisk to get rid of any lumps.
- Add your eggs, coconut oil and maple syrup to the dry ingredients and fold until well combined and the mixture resembles cookie dough.
- Measure out twelve equal portions and roll them each into balls. Place them on your baking tray and slightly flatten them. Push together the edges if they have split to tidy up your biscuits. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Whilst your biscuits are baking, melt your chocolate along with a teaspoon of coconut oil.
- Once baked, leave your biscuits to cool for a couple of minutes and then dip half of each cookie into the melted chocolate and sprinkle on some desiccated coconut if you like. Put the biscuits into the fridge for a couple of minutes for the chocolate to set.

Notes
- See blog post contents for ingredient substitutions.
- You can store these biscuits at room temperature for up to three days, however, I prefer them kept in the fridge as the texture is just fudgier this way! They last up to a week in the refrigerator. Store them on some parchment paper in an air-tight container or a freezer bag so that they stay fresh.
- You can also keep them in your freezer for up to three months. They don't end up rock hard if kept in the freezer so there's no need to thaw them - you can eat them immediately!
