Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Bittersweet chocolate chips (70% cocoa or higher, sugar-free if available)
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Add the unsalted butter to the bananas and mix until well combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract and the egg, mixing until the wet ingredients are fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the bittersweet chocolate chips and nuts (if using).
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your naturally sweetened chocolate chip cookies as a guilt-free treat!
