Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Cookies

Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Cookies – Perfect combination of cakey banana bread and a warm, soft chocolate chip cookie.

Each cookie is baked to perfection with tender, cake-like center and lightly crisp edges, made with ripe bananas and semi-sweet chocolate chips that bring a special kind of homemade flavor and all the comfort of fresh banana bread.

I happened to have one overripe banana in my fruit bowl that the kids didn’t eat but I was craving a chocolate chip cookie. I also thought that this could be a good snack for them because it has a banana in it so it has to be kind of healthy right?

The recipe I was following was kind of messed up and didn’t have all the measurements, so I pretty much just winged it and they came out so good!

They’re soft and cakey and it’s not too banana flavored but it’s just right and with the perfect amount of chocolate chips.

Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Cookies

• 1 ripe banana
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, smash the ripe banana. Then mix in the melted butter, egg, vanilla, and brown sugar. Mix in the cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder and then flour. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Roll into 2 tbsp size balls then place on a cookie sheet. For flatter cookies, press down a little bit with your fingers or a fork. For rounder taller cookies, leave as a ball.

Bake for 9-11 minutes, for chewier cookies bake for about 8 minutes.

Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. 

These are so good fresh out the oven or a day or two after baking. My kids got to have them for breakfast this morning because I’m a cool mom.
