Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Ripe banana
- 120 grams Creamy peanut butter
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 130 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 75 grams Optional: Chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana using a fork until smooth.
Add the peanut butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana. Mix well until creamy and fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
If using chocolate chips or chopped nuts, gently fold them into the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of the spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these delicious banana and peanut butter cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.
