🛒 Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Make the Dough
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine the mashed banana, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until smooth and well combined.
2. Add the Dry Ingredients
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir gently until everything is just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies soft and tender.
3. Bake
Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each cookie. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
4. Cool and Enjoy
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy them warm or completely cooled with coffee, tea, or a glass of milk.
💡 Tips for Perfect Banana Bread Cookies
Use a ripe banana with plenty of brown spots for the sweetest and strongest banana flavor. Since bananas vary in size and moisture, your dough may be slightly softer or thicker depending on the banana you use. For an extra-special version, add a handful of mini chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, pecans, or a pinch of cinnamon before baking.
