Description

These Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Cookies are a delightful fusion of banana bread and classic chocolate chip cookies. The overripe banana gives these cookies a rich, moist texture while adding a sweet, comforting flavor. Perfectly spiced with cinnamon and studded with chocolate chips, these cookies are a must-try treat for banana bread lovers and cookie fans alike.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 small overripe banana, mashed (it should measure 1/4 cup–discard the overflow if more)

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter

  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed

  • 1 egg yolk*

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 2/3 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  2. Prepare Wet Ingredients
    In a medium bowl, mash the banana until smooth (about 1/4 cup). Add the vegetable oil (or melted butter), brown sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

  3. Mix Dry Ingredients
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

  5. Add Chocolate Chips
    Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

  6. Form Cookies
    Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  7. Bake the Cookies
    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. The centers may appear soft but will firm up as they cool.

  8. Cool and Serve
    Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Banana Consistency: Make sure the banana is fully mashed for smooth batter consistency.

Egg Substitute: You can substitute the egg yolk with a flax egg if you’re looking for a vegan alternative.

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
