You’ll love these delicious banana chocolate chip cookies that are chewy, soft and moist. They are on the healthier side with whole wheat flour and oatmeal.  It takes only 20 minutes from start to finish to make these banana bread cookies!

Banana chocolate chip cookies.

Today I share a cookie version of my banana oatmeal chocolate chip muffins. These cookies are perfect as breakfast cookies or snacks.

With oatmeal and whole wheat flour, little brown sugar, these cookies are on the heathier side. If you are looking for completely healthy banana cookies, you should check my 3 ingredient banana cookies.

These soft banana cookies are just like simple banana bread but in cookie form.  So we can say these are chocolate chip banana bread cookies. 

I don’t use any eggs in this recipe just like my soft pumpkin spice cookies.  If you are allergic to eggs or out of eggs, you can still make delicious cookies just like these.

Ingredients you’ll need

You can find the exact quantities at the bottom of my post, in the recipe card.

Ingredients to make banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies on a white surface.
  • Banana-I use ripe bananas so they work as a natural sweetener.  This way, I use very little sugar.
  • Melted butter-I use it for flavor.
  • Sugar-I use just a little brown sugar. 
  • Vanilla extract-Pure vanilla extract adds a great flavor.
  • Flour-I use whole wheat flour to make these cookies on the healthier side. If you want to use all purpose flour, sure you can.
  • Baking soda-It works as a leavener.
  • Oatmeal-I use rolled oats but if you want to make these cookies without oats you can replace oatmeal with whole wheat flour (if you are using all purpose flour you can replace it with it). They are delicious either way.
  • Chocolate Chips– I use semi sweet chocolate chips, so they are not overly sweet.

Step by step instructions

You can find the exact quantities at the bottom of my post, in the recipe card.

First I mix the flour and baking soda in a medium bowl and set aside.

Then I mash the banana either with a fork or a pastry cutter.

Next, I add the melted butter, sugar and vanilla extract, stir with a whisk.

Then I add the oatmeal and stir with a spoon.

I take 2 tablespoons (40 grams) from the dough and place them on the parchment paper. Then I make balls out of these pieces. The mixture will be a little bit sticky but you can still make balls.

I bake for 9-10 minutes or until the top of the cookies doesn’t look wet, almost set and the edges will start to look lightly golden brown.

At this time, the cookies will be soft to handle but they’ll get firm as they cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.

I hope you enjoy these banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!

    I had a bunch of overripe bananas that I was looking to use and I came across this recipe. I substituted oil for the butter and cut down choc chips to 1/3 cup. They are delicious- interesting texture but really good. After making one recipe and tasting I immediately made a second with the remaining bananas. Simple, quick and easy. Thanks!
