Get the Recipe: Banana Bread Cookies
These Banana Bread Cookies taste like a warm, gooey slice of banana bread with a chewy cookie twist. Brown butter adds a rich caramel flavor, while sweet bananas, cinnamon, and mini chocolate chips make every bite soft, nutty, and delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- ½ cup mashed banana
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups gluten free flour
- ¾ cup coconut sugar or light brown sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ⅔ cup gluten free rolled oats
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, brown your butter. Place the stick of butter in a small saucepan over low medium heat. Stir occasionally, until it has reached a golden brown color. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, add the gluten free flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, rolled oats, sea salt, and baking soda. Stir.
- Then, add in the brown butter, mashed banana, and vanilla. Stir together.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Place the bowl of your dough in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, remove from the fridge. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop balls of dough onto the lined pan.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The middles will still look gooey.
- Finally, remove from the oven. Allow the banana bread cookies to cool on the pan for 15 minutes before carefully placing on a wire rack.
Notes
- If you are not gluten free, feel free to use all purpose flour and regular rolled oats.
- Use a brown spotted ripe banana for the best flavor and texture.
- The brown butter adds a really nice caramel flavor to the cookies. If you are short on time, feel free to use melted butter instead.
- These cookies will look and feel very soft and gooey at first.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 48 hours at room temperature or 72 hours in the fridge.
