Gluten Free Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Love me some breakfast cookies!
Gluten-free breakfast cookies are the perfect solution to hectic mornings. I must have a grab-and-go breakfast option on weekdays. I’m hungry in the morning, but in a hurry - can you relate??
Enter Gluten Free Double Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies as a quick and tasty solution to my problem!
These cookies are a variation of the Banana Oatmeal Dark Chocolate Chunk cookies I’ve shared before.
Gluten-Free Note: If you eat gluten-free as I do, make sure you check ALL of your ingredients, including oats, baking powder, protein powder, etc. Use products specifically labeled “gluten-free.”

This gluten-free chocolate chunk oatmeal cookie is a perfect grab-and-go breakfast!
Ingredients
- 1-3/4 cups gluten-free oats
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder (I used Syntha-6 Vanilla Ice Cream)
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mashed banana (approximately 3 small)
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips (or four squares dark chocolate bar, chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Using blender, grind ¾ cup of the oats into flour. Combine with remaining 1 cup oats, protein powder, coconut flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
- Using blender, puree bananas. Add egg, coconut oil and vanilla to blender and pulse until mixed.
- Stir banana mixture into dry ingredients. Fold in chocolate pieces.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop dough onto cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Slightly flatten cookies since they will not spread.
- Bake 10-14 minutes or until set and slightly golden on bottom.
What’s your favorite grab-and-go breakfast option??

How many cookies does this make? Also, could I substitute my Vanilla Shakeology?
Jill,
This recipe makes 24 small cookies. And no, you can’t substitute vanilla Shakeology. According to the official Beachbody website: “Cooking or heating Shakeology would destroy many of the nutrients in Shakeology and upset the nutrient balance. It’s recommended that you not heat Shakeology above 110 degrees.” You can use it for no-bake cookies, but not for these. Sorry!
