Banana Chocolate Cookies

by Lynn

Yesterday I had a couple of bananas that needed used up. I did not want to make my usual banana bread recipe.

I wanted to make something different. I searched through some of my cookbooks and I found a banana chocolate cookie recipe. I decided to give it a try.

It was really good and a great way to use up a banana or two. It also had whole wheat and oatmeal in it so it is at least a little healthy. I think next time I will increase the whole wheat in it.

Another one for me to try. I’m always needing to use up banana’s and like you I get tired of just the banana bread.

YUM! I was just thinking yesterday that I had bananas to be used up- this sounds WAY yummier than banana bread! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this recipe. I thought I had enough bananas for bread, but I don’t and these look delicious!

I just made these and they were delicious. I know you are always looking for healthier alternatives so I thought I would share what I did. I used 1 cup of spelt and 1/2 cup of white (you could use w/w) I used rapadura sugar instead of b. sugar. I used 1/4 cup of non hydr. margarine and 1/2 cup of applesauce in place of butter, reduced salt by half. They were amazing, moist and chewy

Thanks Niki for letting me know you liked it. I am glad to know the changes you made also. I have never use rapadura sugar but I need to try it out. Thanks.

Made these today. Super yummy! Used an all purpose gluten free flour and it worked out fine. Ours aren’t as healthy probably, but they’re still yummy. Had to use mini chips as well and it worked out great :) Thanks for another keeper :)

@Chris, I am so glad you enjoyed them. I have also made a gluten free version and I agree it worked well. I need to post that version in my allergy section.

I’m so glad I read the comments because I so badly want to make these! I tend to freeze my bananas and use them in an oatmeal, banana, peanut butter smoothie (which is super delicious), but I may have to make these. I’m new to gluten free so all I have is GF all purpose flour…do I use the same amount as listed in the recipe? I haven’t actually used the flour yet to know how it acts so I have no idea. Thanks so much!
