Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- ¼ cup canola or sunflower oil
- 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ cup sugar may use up to ½ cup if you wish
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the dry flour, baking powder, baking soda and sugar until they are evenly combined.
- Mash the bananas very well in another bowl.
- Add the oil and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas, mix well.
- Add the banana mixture to the dry flour mixture, mix very well until there is no more dry flour. The cookie dough should be sticky in texture.
- Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile preheat the oven at 350 degree Fahrenheit.
- After chilling the dough for 30 minutes, add the chocolate chips and mix in evenly with the dough.
- Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment sheet and drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the sheet.
- The cookies will spread slightly while baking so make sure to leave some space between the cookies if you do not want them to stick together (If necessary, you may bake the entire cookies in two batches if there's no enough space in the cookie sheet).
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until the top of the banana cookies are lightly browned.
- Once the cookies are baked, immediately transfer the cookie sheet from the hot oven and allow the cookies to cool down for few minutes.
Notes
Enjoy the soft cookies right away or refrigerate for later use, or they may turn too soft if you leave them in the room temperature for long.
Banana cookies are best enjoyed while they are still warm as they tend to turn soft in texture if left at room temperature for too long. If there are leftover cookies, you can transfer them to air tght food containers and refrigerate or freeze for longer storage though the texture may not be the same! If you are refrigerating or freezing the cookies, you can microwave the cookies just before serving so they will be slightly warm.
