    Mango is a favorite fruit in my household. I love tossing them in this Mango Avocado Salad or in a blender to make this Creamy Mango Smoothie. 

    But this fruit's tropical and sweet flavors are also perfect for baking. I've tested this recipe numerous times, and it's always a hit with everyone. They're the ideal healthy treat with a tropical twist and the next best thing to a fresh juicy mango!

    Let's make flourless mango cookies!

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    • Perfect for Mango Lovers: If you're a fan of mango recipes, then you will love these mango cookies with their sweet and tangy flavors and chewy texture.
    • Naturally Sweetened: I'm using homemade fresh mango puree and a tad of honey to sweeten these tropical treats.
    • An Easy Bake: They come together in 10 minutes, and then the oven does the rest.
    • Dietary Info: They are gluten-free (using almond flour), dairy-free, refined sugar-free, and Paleo-friendly, similar to my Almond Flour Banana Cookies.

    Ingredients

    See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    Here are the main ingredients to make these mango cookies:

    A series of ingredients displayed on a table to make fresh mango cookies.
    • Almond Flour: Make the cookie batter with fine and blanched almond flour. Leftovers can be used to make my Olive Oil Cookies or Almond Flour Mug cake With Blueberries.
    • 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 flavor 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 flavors. 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 flavor and a beautiful texture.
    • Lemon Juice: You want just a little bit to add acids and activate the baking soda.

    Tip: Buy almond flour in bulk and use the rest to make other healthy treats like my almond flour chocolate cake or almond flour coffee cake.

    How to Make Mango Cookies

    See the full recipe with measurements in the recipe card.

    Follow these simple steps to make these great cookies.

    Steps showing how to make almond flour mango cookies.

    Step One (Picture 1 above) - Place all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Set aside.

    Step Two (Picture 2 above) - In a high-speed blender, add the mango, dried mango slices, lemon juice, egg, and honey. Blend on a medium-high speed until pureed.

    Step Three (Picture 3 above) - Combine the mango puree with the flour mixture and stir in the coconut oil until you get a soft dough (I use a wooden spoon to mix).

    Step Four (Picture 4 above) - Use a cookie scoop to portion the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven until firm at the top and golden brown. Let the cookies cool completely.

    Top Tips

    • Combine Dry Ingredients Using a Whisk: Fluff up the flour and divide the salt and baking soda equally.
    • Fold in the Mango Puree: Fold the wet and dry ingredients until thoroughly combined. Make sure there are no pockets of almond flour left.
    • Use Juicy Ripe Mangoes: This mango cookie recipe requires juicy and ripe fruit pieces for the best mango flavor and texture.
    • Use a Cookie Scoop: I use a cookie scoop (3 tablespoons) to form the cookies and get about 12 to 13 pieces. If you don't have a cookie scoop, drop three tablespoons of cookie dough on top of each other onto the baking sheet and round it off with your finger into a round cookie shape.
    • Cool at Room Temperature: Allow the flourless cookies to cool sufficiently using a cooling rack.
    • Kitchen Equipment: Don't use a food processor or electric mixer. You don't want to overmix. Simply combine and fold to cookie batter by hand.

    Recipe FAQs

    These Mango Cookies certainly can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

    They are a sweet treat but don't contain refined sugar and are also gluten and dairy-free.

    How do I store Mango Cookies?

    Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature. Refrigerate for longer storage (one week).
