• Pinch of salt

How to Make Peanut Butter Banana Greek Yogurt Soft & Chewy Cookies

PIN IT

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, mash bananas until smooth.

Add peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

The mixture should look glossy and thick.

Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients

Stir in oat flour, baking powder, and salt.

Mix gently until just combined.

Step 4: Fold in Chocolate Chips

If using chocolate chips, fold them in now. I always reserve a few to press on top for that bakery-style look.

Step 5: Scoop & Bake

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto baking sheet.

Gently flatten slightly—they won’t spread much on their own.

Bake for 10–13 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers are set but still soft.

Step 6: Cool

Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to rack.

They will firm up slightly as they cool but stay beautifully soft inside.

What to Serve with These Cookies

• Cold glass of milk
• Almond milk latte
• Greek yogurt bowl
• Fresh berries
• Crumbled over oatmeal

They’re also fantastic tucked into lunchboxes or enjoyed as a quick protein snack.

Tips for Making Them Perfect

• Use very ripe bananas for best sweetness.
• Do not overbake—soft center is key.
• If dough feels too wet, chill 10–15 minutes.
• Use natural peanut butter for cleaner flavor.
• Press extra chocolate chips on top before baking.

Storage Instructions

Room Temperature: 2–3 days in airtight container.

Refrigerator: Up to 5 days.

Freezer: Freeze baked cookies up to 2 months.

Reheat 10–15 seconds in microwave for fresh-baked softness.
