Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 ripe bananas Ripe bananas – naturally sweet base for the cookies
  • 2 cups Old-fashioned oats – for a hearty texture
  • 1 cup Coconut flakes – adds a tropical taste
  • 1 cup Chocolate chips – essential for the signature flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder – helps cookies to rise
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract – enhances overall flavor
  • 1 pinch Pinch of salt – balances sweetness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. Mash the ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth.
  4. Add in the oats, coconut flakes, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Cooking
  1. Mix in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie batter.
  2. Use a spoon to drop dollops of cookie batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set.
Serving
  1. Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
  2. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  3. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for later snacking!

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness. For chewier cookies, let them cool on the baking sheet longer. Store cookies in a sealed container to maintain freshness. These cookies can also be frozen for enjoying later – just thaw before serving.
