3 Ingredient Chocolate Banana Cookies (Vegan)
Description
The recipe relies on ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture, mashed well then mixed with smooth peanut butter and sifted cocoa powder. The resulting thick dough is portioned onto a baking sheet and baked at 350°F (180°C) until the cookies lose their glossy surface and become firm to the touch. Allowing them to cool on the sheet before transferring helps them set fully.
These cookies offer a chewy texture with deep chocolate notes balanced by the fruitiness of banana and richness of peanut butter, all without animal products. Their simplicity makes them accessible and quick for vegan or allergy-friendly baking.
They can be enjoyed as a snack or dessert and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Optional additions like chocolate chips or nuts can be incorporated for extra texture and flavor. Baking time and doneness should be monitored carefully to avoid dryness or heaviness.
Ingredients
- 3 large banana 12 oz/360 g
- ½ cup peanut butter creamy, 4 oz
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder sifted, 2 oz
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and easier mashing to improve texture.
- Sift cocoa powder before mixing to prevent lumps and ensure even flavor distribution.
- Mix dough just until combined to avoid dense or tough cookies.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to ensure even cookie sizes for uniform baking.
- Consider adding mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit for variation.
- Monitor baking time closely and remove cookies as soon as they lose their sheen to keep them moist.
- Store finished cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
