Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Cookies – Vegan

The first thing I realized when we started a healthier diet was that I needed something sweet, stat. Yes, I know fruit is sweet, but when you’re used to eating a lot of sweets, a dessert can make the difference between sticking to your eating plan or completely bombing it. Luckily, these banana cookies were just what we needed to satisfy that aching sweet tooth.

How to Make Banana Cookies

Have you ever made oatmeal banana cookies? They’re so simple! Like, crazy simple. Basically, for any version, you simply mash two large bananas (or three small ones), combine with 1 cup of oats, and toss in your add-ins. Add-ins can be anything you’d like… sometimes I enjoy just adding a tablespoon or two of almond butter and a teaspoon of cinnamon to the mixture. I also enjoy walnuts in my cookies… it reminds me of banana nut bread. But this version of banana cookies with peanut butter and chocolate chips is our absolute favorite. If you’re following a plant-based diet, you should look at the ingredients in your peanut butter and chocolate chips carefully. The peanut butter should be made from only peanuts with no added sugars or oils. The chocolate chips should be free of dairy. We use the Enjoy Life brand because that’s what our local grocery store carries. If you prefer a different brand, tell us about it in the comments! Since we’re new to this way of eating, we’re very open to recommendations and helpful tips.
