Cookies with Mango (Almond Flour)

almondflourcookiesmangoFresh and easy mango cookies that burst with fruity mango flavour. They are simply irresistible and also gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free - a perfect healthy treat.

1¾ cups superfine blanched almond flour (175 g)
½ tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. sea salt
½ cup mango, packed, freshly chopped (145 g)
1 (8 oz) pkg dried mango unsweetened (227 g)
1 tsp. lemon juice, freshly squeezed
3 Tbsp. pure honey
⅓ cup solid coconut oil, melted (70 g)
1 large egg

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C/160°C fan, Gas Mark 4).

Place the dried ingredients in a large bowl. Use a whisk to combine. Set aside.

Place the fresh mango, dried mango slices, lemon juice and honey in a high-speed blender. Blend until you get a beautiful orange mango puree.

Add the mango purée to the bowl with the reserved dried ingredients together with the melted coconut oil and egg.

With a wooden spoon, thoroughly combine all the ingredients until the almond flour is well mixed with the wet ingredients and you get a beautiful orange batter.

Drop the cookies onto a prepared baking pan using a cookie scoop (3 Tbsp.). You should get about 12-13 cookies. Make sure there is enough space left between them.

Flatten them a bit on the top using your finger.

Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until firm at the top and golden brown.

Allow to cool completely. Once out of the oven, they continue to bake and develop their flavors while hot.

Makes 13 cookies.

Cook's Notes:

  • Almond flour: Use fine and blanched almond flour to make the cookie batter. Leftovers can be used to make my Olive Oil Cookies.
  • Baking soda: Acts as a leavening agent to help the cookies rise.
  • Salt: A little salt enhances the flavor and balances out the sweetness.
  • Coconut Oil: Its flavour perfectly melts into these tropical mango cookies.
  • Honey: A small amount adds sweetness and moisture to the cookies.
  • Egg: One large egg is all you need to bind the ingredients together.
  • Mango: I usually use ripe champagne mangos to add fresh fruit flavours. One large or two smaller fresh mangoes are all you need.
  • Dried mango slices: Use unsweetened dried fruit. It will add a more intense tropical flavour and a beautiful texture.
  • Lemon juice: You want just a tad to add acids and activate the baking soda.
