Description

These Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Cookies combine the best of both worlds—soft, moist banana bread and chewy chocolate chip cookies. Made in one bowl with only 10 ingredients, they’re quick, easy, and perfect for using up that lone overripe banana. Vegan and gluten-free friendly, they’re a must-bake for banana lovers and cookie enthusiasts alike.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small overripe banana, mashed (about 1/4 cup)
  • 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

  1. In a large bowl, combine the mashed banana, vegetable oil, and brown sugar. Stir to combine.
  2. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  3. Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until just combined, with no dry flour remaining.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
  5. Let the dough rest for about 15 minutes to hydrate the flour while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop 1-inch dough balls and place them 2 inches apart on the sheet.
  7. Bake for 10–11 minutes until edges are set and centers look slightly underbaked.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet before serving.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for maximum flavor and sweetness.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid a cakey texture.
  • Cookies will continue baking on the sheet after removing from the oven—slightly underbaking is ideal.
  • To make it vegan, substitute the egg yolk with 1.5 tsp ground flaxseed mixed with 2 tbsp water.
  • Can be made gluten-free using a 1:1 baking flour blend.
