Ingredients
- 3 large bananas (12 oz/360 g)
- ½ cup (4 oz/115 g) creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup (2 oz/58 g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
Notes
- Make sure to use ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness. Overripe bananas will mash more easily and provide a sweeter taste to the cookies.
- If your peanut butter is very thick or dry, you can microwave it for a few seconds to soften it slightly. This will make it easier to mix with the bananas and cocoa powder.
- To prevent lumps in your cookie batter, sift the cocoa powder before adding it to the mixture. This will ensure a smooth and consistent texture.
- Be careful not to overmix the cookie batter, as this can result in dense or tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no streaks of flour or cocoa powder remain.
- For evenly sized cookies, use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the dough onto the baking sheet. This will help ensure that all the cookies bake evenly and are the same size.
- While the basic recipe calls for just three ingredients, feel free to customize your cookies by adding mix-ins like chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit for added flavor and texture.
- Keep an eye on the cookies while they're baking, as oven temperatures can vary. Bake them just until they lose their sheen and are set, being careful not to overbake them, as they can become dry.
