Print Recipe

Soft, chewy, and moist banana chocolate chip cookies that combine the flavors of banana bread and chocolate chip cookies into a delightful treat.

Ingredients

Scale

      • 1 small overripe banana, mashed (roughly 1/4 cup).

      • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter (or 113g unsalted butter)

      • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed (or 110g light brown sugar)

      • 1 egg yolk

      • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

      • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (or 130g)

      • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

      • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

      • 1/2 teaspoon salt
      • 2/3 cup chocolate chips (or 130g chocolate chips)

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place parchment paper on a baking sheet to avoid sticking and simplify cleanup.
    2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, and mashed banana until well combined. Mix to combine.
    3. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Mix well.
    4. Add the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. Stir until the ingredients are just combined, making sure no flour streaks remain.
    5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
    7. Wrap the dough and let it sit for 15 minutes while the oven heats up.
    8. Use a cookie scoop to portion out dough balls onto the prepared cookie sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
    9. Bake for 10 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set, and the cookies have risen, but the centers remain slightly soft.
    10. Let the cookies cool before eating.

    Notes

      • For the best sweetness and banana flavor, use a very ripe, brown banana.

      • Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dry, bread-like texture.

      • Underbake the cookies slightly for a gooey center.

      • To make it vegan, replace the egg yolk with 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground flaxseed mixed with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it thickens before using.

      • You can use melted butter or shortening instead of vegetable oil for a different flavor.

      • The dough will be a little wet.

      • For a slightly different texture, you can substitute rolled oats for some of the flour

      • Weighing ingredients is recommended for best results.
