Description
A delicious and easy recipe for chocolate chip banana cookies using overripe bananas.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup overripe banana, mashed
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and mashed banana. Mix to combine.
- Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Add the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. Stir until combined and no streaks of flour remain.
- Last, fold in the chocolate chips. Cover and set aside to let the flour hydrate in the dough while the oven preheats, about 15 minutes.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350°F. Once the oven is preheated, use a 1 ounce cookie scoop or a spoon to scoop out about dough balls, placing them about 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet. The dough will be a little wet!
- Bake for 10 to 11 minutes or until the edges are set and the cookies have puffed up, but the middles are still underbaked.
- Allow to cool before eating!
Notes
- Let the cookies cool completely for the best texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container.
