Banana Bread Cookies

Banana Bread Cookies: For those who have been following my recipes for a while now, it's no surprise that I go bananas over baking with bananas. The plethora of banana recipes is enough proof to substantiate it.

I think I'm the happiest person ever to see a banana becoming overripe and getting blackish spots because I see an opportunity there to bake a new recipe. Banana bread has always been one of my favorite things to bake, especially when I want to gift it to family and friends. You can never go wrong with this vegan banana bread and the copycat Starbucks banana bread without eggs.

Egg Free Banana Bread Cookies

Being an ardent fan of banana bread, I wanted to try my hands on a simple banana bread cookie recipe. I tried to recreate the unique taste and texture of a banana bread in tiny morsels which can be devoured almost immediately after baking unlike waiting for the banana bread to cool overnight and then slice it. It will take at least 12 hours before we can taste that slice of a perfect banana bread! Whew! Not anymore!

You can bake these tasty no egg, banana bread cookies in no time and have it quickly too. This banana cookie recipe also doesn't require any separate egg substitute because mashed banana by itself is a wonderful egg substitute. So no special ingredients or equipment is necessary to make this simple cookie recipe.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F/180C.

Add butter and sugar

2. Add butter and sugar in a large bowl.

Cream well

3. Cream together them until light and fluffy.

Add banana and vanilla

4. Add the mashed banana and vanilla extract. Beat well.

Add flour and salt

5. Add the flour and salt and mix together.

Mix them together

6. Banana bread cookies dough mixture is ready.

Stir in walnuts

7. Stir in the chopped walnuts.

Drop dough and flatten it lightly

8. Use an ice-cream scoop or a tablespoon to scoop out the cookie dough and drop it onto the cookie sheet/s 1-2 inches apart. Bake for 10-14 minutes or until it's light golden brown.

Banana bread cookies ready!

9. Remove the sheet/s from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before storing it in an air-tight container.

Expert Tip

If you want to make healthy banana bread cookies, try incorporating some oatmeal and whole wheat flour instead of the all-purpose flour.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup banana mashed
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 and ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup walnuts chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
  • In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the mashed banana and vanilla extract, and beat well.
  • Add the flour and salt and mix together. Stir in the chopped walnuts.
  • Use an ice-cream scoop or a tablespoon to scoop out the cookie dough and drop it onto the cookie sheet/s 2-3 cms apart.
  • Bake for 10-14 minutes or until it's light golden brown.
  • Remove the sheet/s from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before storing it in an air-tight container.

My Notes

  • I used light brown sugar, and the cookies were in a pale white color. If you want darker cookies, use dark brown sugar instead.
  • For vegan banana bread cookies use a vegan butter substitute like Earth Balance. Oil will work too. Use about ¾th of a cup of oil instead.
  • If you want to get more cookies try using half tablespoon measurement to scoop out the dough.
  • As always test bake 2-3 cookies to see how it spreads and then decide if you have to chill the dough a bit if it spread too much, or if you have to flatten the dough if it doesn't spread enough. I felt that my dough was a bit sticky, so refrigerated it for about 20 minutes and flattened the scooped out cookie dough lightly because it didn't spread much.
  • You can also use chocolate chips instead of walnuts in this banana bread cookies.

    Idk what I did wrong but they didn’t work for me. I followed the exact recipe and directions. They came out flat and there was juice on the pan. Help!! Lol

      Sorry about that, Lucas. It's a pretty straight forward recipe. Wondering where the juice came from. I went through the comments section to see if anybody else faced such issues but see that most of them have got it right. As mentioned in the My Notes section I always suggest test baking 2-3 cookies. Depending upon how soft the butter is, the measurement of sugar and flour, cookie dough tends to get a different texture. Test baking is the only way to be sure that we have got it right and it gives us the opportunity to fix any issue. If the cookies come out flat it means either the butter was a slightly more than mentioned in the recipe/or very soft hence the creaming of the sugar yielded a more thin consistency hence the dough required chilling or little bit more flour could have been added.

    Would chopped dates work in this recipe instead of walnuts?

    I really love this recipe! My late mom used to make a similar cookie, so it reminds of her! My youngest daughter can't eat eggs, so I make these cookies for her, but I still eat them because they're delicious. To cut back on the sugar, I use coconut sugar instead. The natural sweetness of the banana really comes through. I also use Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips. 🙂 Thanks for a great, easy recipe.

    I made this recipe a couple years ago when I had no eggs but wanted some banana bread. I now make it at least once a month. It is my favorite dough to have in the freezer. I add walnuts and chocolate chips. I rarely buy eggs, so it is the perfect baked good recipe for me. I love that it is not too sweet and can taste like a dessert if I want dessert, but I also dont feel bad having a couple for breakfast with my coffee on occasion. The nuts and banana make it feel a little more wholesome.

    But your recipe contains butter and states that it's vegan.
    I also made it the same way but it ended up scone like rather than cookie like... still delicious but where did i go wrong?

      Hi Mandy, I read the recipe now and I have said that I have made a vegan banana bread which I love and have not said that this banana bread cookie recipe is vegan. I have mentioned egg free, no eggs and not vegan. Regarding the texture of the cookies, these cookies won't be crisp like your usual cookies because it has mashed fruit in it. Cookies made with bananas, applesauce all have a soft cake like texture.

      Maybe 3-4 days maximum, I would say. Homemade cookies especially with fruit and no preservatives won't keep long.

    Hi!
    I baked these cookies yesterday but...I had trouble with the dough being VERY VERY STICKY.

    I put the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes but it still was very sticky.

    I used 3/4 cup of canola oil. Would the dough be less sticky using butter???

    LOVE YOUR RECIPE AND COMMENTS.

      Thank you. I think it was too much oil for the recipe. Maybe 1/2 cup would have been fine or you could have tried adding more flour.
