So I decided to go back to something sweet tonight. One of my coworkers ALWAYS brings overripe bananas that are perfect for baking. I’m a little sick of banana bread and banana muffins from making it too much a couple summers ago, so I opted for some banana chocolate chip cookies!
These are super soft with super yummy chunks of banana and chocolate. That’s all I’ve really got to say about them =P
Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 overripe bananas
- 1/2 cup vegan butter
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 flax or chia egg (1 tbsp ground flax OR chia seeds + 3 tbsp warm water)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F
- In a small bowl, combine ground flax or chia and water and let gel for about 5 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the vegan butter and sugar until smooth.
- Add flax egg and vanilla and mix until incorporated.
- Add bananas (now you can either lightly mash em and leave chunks, or you can smush them completely so they're completely incorporated into the cookie. I opted for the former).
- Mix in the flour and baking soda.
- Optional: add in the chocolate chips.
- Spoon onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart and bake for 8-10 minutes (the edges will start to brown and the tops will stop looking so wet).
- Let cool on a wire rack.

Hi, I was just wondering how many cookies this made and also what the size range around the bananas was. (ie. 2 large bananas? 2 “normal” bananas? 2 small bananas?)
Lisa Le says
Hi Alex! I made this recipe so long ago I can’t remember, and since I’m vegan now, I don’t remake my recipes that use eggs or dairy. From what I can remember, these made maybe 2 dozen? And they’re two “normal” bananas =)

Can you please Veganize this?
Lisa Le says

Hi Jess
Followed the receipe but my cookies turned out more like banana bread in the centre and didn’t crisp up like cookies. Is this expected?
Lisa Le says
Hi Vasudha! Yes they’re softer cookies :)

These are the worst!
They are far from cookies~
Next time skip the gross, gelatinous flax egg and add soda to bananas for a great rise… And- for a delightful COOKIE (Not cookie shsied bread.) So sad- and a huge waste of ingredients.

This is my friend’s favorite cookie. Also me! My favorite!!! I love making these!! They’re so simple and tasty since the ingredients are so easily accessible as a vegan. I make them all the time for my housing co-op. They get eaten so fast. :) They are so soft and doughy. ?
