3 Ingredient Healthy Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies
These chocolate chip cookies are just 3 ingredients and taste like banana bread in cookie form. The cookie dough base doesn't contain any wheat flour, butter, or eggs. They are an easy snack when you're craving something sweet.
1/2cup (110 g)mashed overripe bananas, (see notes)
1cup (105 g)oat flour
1/3cup (56 g)semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, stir together mashed bananas and oat flour until oat flour is completely incorporated and a thick dough forms. You should not see any traces of unmixed oat flour.
Stir in half of the chocolate chips. Using a 1.5 cookie scoop, scoop dough balls and place onto prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Press down on dough balls with the palm of your hand to form a thick round disk. Cookies will puff up a little during baking but they will not spread out, so you want to spread the cookies out beforehand. Press a few of the remaining chocolate chips onto each cookie.
Bake cookies about 10 minutes. Let cookies cool before removing and eating.
Notes
Make sure to mash the bananas until no lumps remain. If you still have a lot of lumps then your bananas will not have enough liquid for the dough. I usually start with a fork and then I stir vigorously with a whisk to mash out the smaller lumps.
1/2 cup mashed bananas is a little less than 2 large bananas.
To make your own oat flour, you can blend rolled oats until they resemble a very fine flour consistency.
The cookie dough is very sticky and may be difficult for you to press to form disks. I recommend washing your hands before pressing the dough. You may need to wash your hands again halfway through if your hands get too sticky.
These cookies are a little smaller than regular cookies because they don't spread as much.
