1/3 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips

Instructions for Healthy Grain-Free Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie:

Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch oven-safe skillet with a bit of coconut oil.
Blend the Dates
Drain the soaked dates and blend them in a food processor with the applesauce until smooth. Set aside.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix the date-applesauce puree, melted coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Bring It Together
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Bake
Press the dough evenly into the skillet. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
Cool and Enjoy
Let the skillet cookie cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm for a gooey texture or at room temperature for a firmer bite.

Tips for Success
