banana bread cookies
Soft, chewy, and bursting with sweet banana flavor, these Banana Bread Cookies are a delightful treat that bakes faster than a loaf of bread. Perfect for using up overripe bananas!
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.5 cup salted butter 1 stick, softened
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 cup ripe bananas mashed (~2 bananas)
- 0.33 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare two large sheet pans by spraying with cooking spray or lining them with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Using a stand or hand mixer, beat together the salted butter and white sugar. Beat for 2-3 minutes to incorporate plenty of air. It should be light and fluffy.
- Mix in the mashed ripe bananas, Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat for 2-3 minutes again.
- In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Stir well.
- On low speed, add the flour mixture into the batter until just barely combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Use a cookie scooper to scoop two-inch balls of dough onto the sheet pan. Leave two inches between each cookie.
- Bake cookies in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until cookies have puffed up and the edges are lightly golden. Plate and serve.
Notes
These cookies are great with or without chocolate chips. You can also add walnuts or pecans for extra texture.
