Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe banana
- 120 grams peanut butter
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana using a fork until smooth.
Add the peanut butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana. Stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips, if using, for added sweetness and texture.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1.5 inches apart.
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon or your fingers, as they will not spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your homemade peanut butter and banana cookies!
