How to Make Banana Peanut Butter Cookies

Let’s make these together—you’re about 15 minutes away from something amazing.

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mash the Banana

In a bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Those ripe, spotty bananas? That’s where the magic lives.

Step 3: Mix Everything Together

Add the oats and peanut butter to the mashed banana. Stir until fully combined—it’ll be thick, sticky, and already smelling incredible.

Step 4: Add Chocolate Chips

Fold in your chocolate chips. Be generous—this is not the time to hold back

Step 5: Shape the Cookies

Scoop small portions onto your baking tray and gently flatten them with a spoon or your fingers.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 7: Cool & Enjoy

Let them cool for a few minutes… or don’t (I won’t judge). Warm, gooey, and absolutely irresistible.

What to Serve with Banana Peanut Butter Cookies

These cookies are perfect on their own, but here are a few cozy pairings:

A glass of cold milk or plant-based milk
A hot cup of coffee or tea
A dollop of yogurt for a snack plate
Crumbled over oatmeal for a fun breakfast twist

Tips for Making It Perfect

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness
Don’t overbake—they should stay soft
Flatten before baking since they won’t spread much
Use creamy peanut butter for best texture

Storage Instructions

Room temp: Store in an airtight container for 2 days
Refrigerate: Up to 5 days
Freeze: Up to 2 months—just thaw and enjoy
