Simple to make, chewy and delicious, these banana peanut butter cookies are perfect with a glass of cold milk or a cup of hot tea. They'd be great for breakfast too!
I give the actual recipe I used for the cookies in my photos but I have made these many times. What I discovered is that no banana is exactly the same weight you need.
Based on the original ingredients for one batch of 16, here are the instructions to personalize the recipe according to the weight of your bananas. You need a kitchen scale.
Simply peel your very ripe bananas and weigh them in grams. Divide the number of grams by 75. Now times that result by 160. That is how many grams of peanut butter you need for your weight of bananas. Times that banana number by 31 to figure out how much flour you need. Easy!
Banana Peanut Butter Cookies
I tried this recipe with natural peanut butter without sugar and even with a very ripe banana, the cookies just weren’t sweet enough. Use your favorite peanut butter that does have sugar added. I like Jif.
Ingredients for 16 cookies
1/3 cup or 75g very ripe banana
1/2 cup, rounded, or 160g smooth peanut butter (with sugar)
1/4 cup or 31g flour
Powdered sugar for pressing with fork
Sugar for sprinkling, if desired.
Method
Preheat your oven to 350° or 180°C and line a baking pan with a silicone liner or baking parchment.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the ripe banana until smooth.
Add in the peanut butter and flour and mix thoroughly.
Use tablespoon to apportion into cookies.
Roll into balls.
Dip the tines of your fork into powdered sugar and press down in a cross pattern.
Sprinkle with more sugar for decoration, if desired.
Bake in your preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and leave to cool. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Enjoy!
