I love recipes that make me feel like I can get away with eating something sweet first thing in the morning. These banana bread cookies do the trick! Combining my own love for banana bread and the addition of chocolate chunks, these cookies are soft and cake like, much like the bread. They are perfect for enjoying with a cup of coffee in the morning, as a afternoon snack or the perfect dessert. They are a great excuse to eat a cookie any time of day. And with oatmeal and bananas, I feel just a little less guilty indulging in them.
White Lily was kind enough to send me some of their flour to test out and I found this recipe while looking over the recipes on their site. (Watch for a fun giveaway to come soon, courtesy of White Lily flour!)
Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread Cookies Ingredients
Ingredients
- all purpose flour
- baking powder
- baking soda
- salt
- butter
- brown sugar
- ripe bananas about 2-3
- eggs
- vanilla extract
- quick or old-fashioned rolled oats
- walnuts or pecans optional
- semi-sweet chocolate chunks
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375° degrees F.
-
In medium bowl stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
-
In large bowl beat butter until light and fluffy. Slowly add brown sugar and then beat additional 2 minutes. Beat in banana, eggs and vanilla, just until combined.
-
Stir in flour mixture.
-
Stir in oats, nuts (if desired-I excluded them) and chocolate chunks.
-
Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet. (I like to line my baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.)
-
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for one minute before moving to wire rack to cool completely.
I made my cookies a bit larger than recommended so I got almost 4 dozen cookies instead of the 6 dozen the recipe said.
If you love a flavorful and super soft cookie, you will love these! My family certainly does and my husband has already declared these cookies “evil” as he ate three in a row when he got home from work.

Banana bread in cookie form? Yes please.
Oh these look so good!
These look so yummy!!
I made them today, since I had bananas sitting around. I think they are really good, but the test will be the boyfriend when he gets home from work. Heres hoping he likes them as well. Thanks for the great recipe 🙂
They look delicious and they’re healthy as well! Perhaps I’ll try them!
Thank you,

These turned out great and might be my new alternative to banana bread 🙂 no cutting and crumbs! I added some chunky raw turbinado sugar to the top before baking and it added a nice sugary crunch. Love it!
I LOVE soft cookies. This looks SO good, sweet things in the morning is definitely my thing 🙂
These look delicious! I will try them as soon as I can!
Just made them and ate three in a row while they were still warm. Yep, this recipe’s a keeper!
So happy to hear you like them! And hey, you can even pass them off as breakfast food, right? 🙂
They are so good! its like eating muffin tops. yummy!
Aren’t they though?! Glad you like them so much too! 🙂
Love this recipe. Family is addicted. Kids, cousins, hubby and Grandma all request this cookie. It was a change at first, but soon it hits you. I like them the next day as the banana taste intensifies a little. Rest of the family wants them as soon as out of the oven!
I’m so happy to hear that you are in love with them too! I adore cookies which are soft and fluffy like this and the banana and chocolate combo is a favorite of mine. Thanks for taking the time to comment on hope to see you around here again soon! 🙂
I added half a cup of peanut butter chips along with 1/2 cup chocolate chips! It was scrumptious!
i just made these 😀 they are yummy and i dont feel bad for eating a few of them because they are pretty much banana bread in cookie form. the chocolate is a sweet bonus. im sure these bad boys wont last very long. i made extra dough too 😀
I love cookies! These look so delicious!
