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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana using a fork until smooth.
Step 3
Add the peanut butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana. Stir until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
Step 6
Fold in the mini chocolate chips, if using, for added sweetness and texture.
Step 7
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1.5 inches apart.
Step 8
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon or your fingers, as they will not spread much during baking.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 10
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.
Step 11
Enjoy your homemade peanut butter and banana cookies!
