Ingredients

Scale

Banana Mixture

  • 1/2 cup Mashed Ripe Banana (equivalent to 1 large ripe banana)
  • 1/3 cup Melted Coconut Oil (refined coconut oil for neutral flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (optional)
  • 1/2 cup Unrefined Cane Sugar

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup Dark Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the banana base: Place the mashed ripe banana in a mixing bowl, ensuring you have exactly 1/2 cup for optimal moisture and texture.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: Add melted coconut oil, vanilla extract (optional), and cane sugar to the banana, whisking thoroughly to combine into a smooth mixture.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: Using a rubber spatula, stir in the all-purpose flour and baking soda until the dough reaches a consistent and thick texture.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold the dark chocolate chips into the dough, mixing evenly without overworking the batter.
  5. Chill the dough: Refrigerate the dough for 10 minutes to firm it up slightly, making it easier to shape the cookies without becoming too hard.
  6. Prepare for baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  7. Shape the cookies: Form 10 equal-sized dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for handling.
  8. Flatten the dough balls: Lightly oil your hand and gently press down each dough ball to flatten, as these cookies won’t spread during baking. Thicker cookies will have a softer, more banana bread-like center.
  9. Bake: Bake the cookies in the center rack of your oven for 16-18 minutes until the edges turn a nice golden brown.
  10. Cool the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Refined coconut oil prevents coconut flavor from overpowering the cookies.
  • Do not skip chilling the dough or cookies may be hard to shape.
  • The cookies do not spread during baking, so shape them to your desired thickness beforehand.
  • These cookies have a soft, moist texture and will keep well stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
