Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium Ripe bananas, mashed The spottier, the better
  • 1 cup Peanut butter Creamy is preferred, chunky works too
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar or regular sugar
  • 1 large Egg Helps bind the ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Adds flavor
  • 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda For lift
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt For balance
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips Can use a mix of chocolate types

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
  3. Add peanut butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underdone.
  3. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use very ripe bananas. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
