You know when you have one lonely ripe banana left? Not enough to make banana bread or muffins - but absolutely enough for these banana peanut butter cookies! These are pillowy, fluffy, soft and so delicious. They are the perfect hybrid of a banana muffin and a chocolate chip cookie. They are super easy to make too.
Here is what you need:
- Banana - duh!
- Peanut Butter - Almond Butter also works great here. Even cashew or pecan butter. Any sort of nut butter!
- Maple Syrup - for sweetness 🙂
- Vanilla
- Egg
- Baking Powder
- Chocolate Chips or a Chocolate bar of your choice chopped up! I love a sea salt dark chocolate bar in this one!
Ingredients:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.
Mash banana in a large mixing bowl. Add in the rest of the wet ingredients (egg, maple syrup, vanilla, peanut butter) and mix well.
Add in dry ingredients (baking powder, almond flour) to the bowl and mix well. Fold in chocolate chips last. Store batter in the fridge for at least 30 minutes so the dough can set before baking. This makes the cookies spread out less during the process.
Line / grease a cookie sheet and scoop batter (using an ice cream scooper) into circles on the sheet. Bake for 15 minutes and let cool. Enjoy!

These are SO GOOD. Eat w/ big glass of vanilla almond milk, and omg heaven…
So good! I used almond butter instead of peanut butter and they were soooo tasty. Will definitely be making these again!
