These healthy and delicious Banana Bread Cookies are so soft, sweet, and fluffy. The perfect kid friendly recipe that are also Paleo, vegan, gluten-free, and so easy to make.

.

Soft and fluffy, sweet and satisfying, these healthy banana bread cookies are made with only 6 ingredients.

These banana cookies are not only easy to make but also are the perfect kid-friendly dessert recipe.

I love having simple and nutritious snacks around for those busy days when the mid day sweet cravings hit. Something delicious, quick and easy.

As you might know, baking with bananas is a big hit in my house.

And especially during the summer. One of my summer favorites is this Banana Bread with Peaches, and another one is this Healthy Strawberry Muffin recipe.

I really have a feeling that these Banana Bread Cookies are going to be a summer favorite, or better yet, an all-year-round staple.

Why I love these healthy banana cookies

These banana cookies are like little banana bread bites, but even better. They are made in cookie form.

Some of you have requested on Instagram oil free dessert recipes. And here it is! These banana bread cookies does not require any oil or butter.

There is no refined sugar. These cookies are sweetened by ripe bananas and a touch of coconut sugar which can be omitted.

Just to add to the list of reasons why I love these banana cookies – the best way to use those spotty brown bananas on the kitchen counter. 

Easy to make and only needs 6 main ingredients, this cookie recipe is the perfect kid friendly dessert to make for your little picky eaters or make with them!

Nutritious ingredients for healthy banana cookies

All you need for this delicious and easy recipe is 6 simple whole foods ingredients.

You need:

Bananas
Spotty ripe bananas for the sweetest and best flavor. The cookie texture will also benefit from really ripe bananas.

Almond flour
One of my favorite gluten-free flours to bake with. The flavor and texture make this the perfect flour for these vegan banana bread cookies.

Coconut Flour
I love baking with coconut flour. It’s grain-free, gluten-free, Paleo, Keto, and Whole30-approved.

Coconut Sugar
Sweet, delicious, and Paleo-approved sugar. Coconut sugar also contain some nutrients compared to regular white sugar. You can read more about it here.

Sea salt 
Salt elevates the flavors and balances the seethes. Always add a pinch to your baked goods. 

Baking soda
Leavening agent of choice. All you need is a little bit to make these banana bread cookies poof up just right. 

Optional Add-in Ingredient

Chocolate Chips
There is just something about banana bread with chocolate chips, and the same goes for these Banana Bread Cookies. However, they are optional (or are they… !?).

Walnuts

Banana bread always takes better with some chopped walnuts!

How to make my vegan banana bread cookies from scratch

These vegan banana cookies are super easy to make, and this is how you make them.

First, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt. Set a side.

Second, mash the ripe bananas using a fork or a hand mixer. 

Now, gently combine the dry ingredients with the bananas. Be sure not to over mix the cookie batter.

Then, fold in chocolate chips or a chopped up chocolate bar. (This is optional, you don’t have to use chocolate for this banana cookie recipe.)

Now, Let the healthy banana cookie dough chill in the freezer for 15 – 20 minutes. It will make the cookies easier to shape. 

Then, use a cookie scoop to shape into cookie dough balls. Gently press the ball down to flatten slightly. Sprinkle extra chocolate on top if preferred.

Lastly, Bake until a little golden brown on the edges but still soft on the inside.

Enjoy!

  • Top a bowl of your favorite yogurt with a crumbled cookie
  • Serve the healthy banana cookie with a sliced apple for a great after school snack
  • Make an ice cream sandwich for a decadent and fun dessert
  • These healthy banana cookies are also a great pre-workour snack for some extra energy

How can I store these banana bread cookies? 

There are nine banana bread cookies on a cooling rack. You can see dark chocolate chunks and nuts inside the cookies

You can store these vegan Banana Bread Cookies covered on the countertop for 1-2 days. 

They will last up to 4-5 days in an air-tight container when kept in the fridge. 

And YES, you can freeze them!

To serve, leave the banana bread cookies on the counter top for 10 minutes or heat it up in the microwave for 15 – 20 seconds. Enjoy!

You definitely need to make double the batch of these healthy banana bread bites. They are the perfect snack for the whole family, both delicious and nutritious.

    I didn’t have all the ingredients so I used all almond flour. Is the middle supposed to be soft/undercooked texture?
    It still was so delicious!

      Hi Marcelia, I’m so happy it worked with only almond flour as well! Thanks for sharing 🙂 And yes, the texture is very soft in the middle. If you prefer it not to be too soft, you can leave it in the oven for a little bit longer. Just be careful not no overbake it so it becomes dry.
      All the best, Emmelie
