    This Healthy Mini Skillet Cookie is everything a skillet cookie should be: chocolatey, quick, and easy. This dessert is perfect for one to two people and is naturally gluten free and paleo friendly. We love making this skillet cookie for date night and topping it off with warm chocolate ganache and vegan ice cream. This recipe only takes 10 minutes to prep and will satisfy your sweet tooth any night.

    This recipe was inspired after a night of craving a dessert but not wanting to make a whole batch of something just for me! This recipe is intended for just one to two people. It is so simple to make that it has become my go to recipe for the nights where I just want something sweet but do not want to spend all night in the kitchen.

    • There are multiple substitutions available for this recipe.
    • This recipe only requires 10 minutes of hands on time!
    • This recipe only requires 7 simple ingredients that you likely will already have on hand.
    • This recipe reminds me so much of my other favorite simple dessert that I have on my blog-Dairy Free Brownies! They are so darn good.

    Ingredients

    Recipe ingredients laid out on a baking sheet in glass clear bowls.
    • Almond butter- This acts as the base of this recipe and makes this cookie cake nice and smooth.
    • Flax egg-Flax eggs are one of my go to’s and is great for a no egg option.
    • Coconut oil-This will help soften the cookie batter.
    • Coconut sugar-My go to refined sugar free sweetener. 
    • Maple syrup-My go to liquid sweetener, it compliments the coconut sugar oh so nicely. 
    • Baking soda-Baking soda is a leavening agent which means it helps baked goods rise! Do not skip this.
    • Cooking oil spray-To prevent sticking.

    See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements. 

    Substitutions And Variations

    • Almond butter-You can use any kind of nut butter here. Peanut butter or even Macadamia Nut Butter. Just make sure whatever you use is the smooth kind.
    • Flax egg-If you would prefer the no egg option using flax seeds are definitely the best route but if you like eggs you can substitute one egg.
    • Coconut sugar-Maple sugar also works for this recipe.

    Step 3: Bake the skillet st 350 degrees F for 25 minutes.

    Equipment

    • 6 inch cookie skillet. I love using my heart shaped one but a circle one works too just make sure it is 6 inches.
    • Mixing bowl.
    • Spatula.

    Expert Tips

    • Tip #1: This homemade dessert tastes best still warm. I like eating it straight out of the oven!
    • Tip #2: Make sure your 6 inch skillet is cast iron! Not all skillets can withstand the heat in the oven.
    • Tips #3: Make sure the skillet is well greased in prior to adding the cookie dough.
    • Tip #4: Spread the cookie dough in an even layer in the skillet prior to baking.
    • Tip #5: Make sure the coconut oil is melted prior to mixing.

    Recipe FAQs

    Any kind would work! A few of my favorites are sprinkles, nuts, or chocolate chips.

    Yes! It is the same thing.

    If you don’t have a 6 inch cast iron skillet you can use another oven friendly skillet that is the same size.

    Storage Instructions

    • You can store this cookie skillet as is with clear wrap on top or you can store it in a glass container.
    • I suggest keeping this recipe in the fridge for no more than 5 days.
