I would always get so many requests for a good gluten free and vegan banana bread, but as I was thinking about it – all I could think was “I WISH I could make a recipe where I could just make a bunch of individual slices of banana bread.” And that’s how this cookie was born!
You can make them whatever size you want, but I chose to make mine huuuuge. They turn into small pieces of banana bread heaven that you can use as a grab-and-go breakfast or for meal prep for the week! And with ingredients like this, it feels like you’re just taking a baked oatmeal bowl on the go, but instead it’s a cookie 😉

Banana Bread Cookies
These cookies are like individual slices of banana bread, soft, moist and chocolatey. Plus they bake in a quarter of the time and can be whipped together in minutes!
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- blender
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 1 ⅔ cup oats blended into oat flour about 220g
- ⅓ cup brown sugar packed
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F.
- Mash up the bananas until they are smooth. Then add the oat flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and mix until well combined.
- Add in your chocolate chips and mix well. Use a wet hand (because this dough will be soft!) to shape your cookies into balls. This will make 7-8 large cookies.
- Tip! Cookies like this don’t spread in the oven, so make sure to form them how you want them to look when they are out of the oven!
- Bake for 12-14 minutes at 350F.
- Serve warm!
Had to come to the new website just to leave a review for these babies! So easy and so insanely delicious. I look forward to my bananas going ripe so I have an excuse to make them. 10/10 would recommend! Thanks Justine – your recipes are a truly appreciated public service during this pandemic.
gah thank you so much for reviewing them!! These are the loves of my cookie life so I am so so glad you liked them!
These are incredible! Even though I’m the one who made them I’m struggling to believe they’re gluten free. I’m thinking about quitting my job just so I can make every. single. one of your recipes. Thank you for developing this site!
Omg this comment makes me so happy! I’m so glad you like this recipe (and thank you for taking the time to rate and review this!)
Delicious! One of my fav healthy banana bread recipes. I substituted the brown sugar for coconut sugar and added a splash of plant milk, also added less chocolate chips. They tasted amazing, for sure a go to recipe now on!
omg I am so glad you liked it! Thank you for taking the time to comment this <3
These are SO good!!! They are fluffy and decadent and so easy to make. My dad was skeptical watching me make them but he was so impressed when he tried it, I think he might finish them all. I added a dash of vanilla and used milk chocolate chips. Next time I’ll use dark chocolate because the milk chocolate was a little sweet for me. Justine is a culinary genius!!!
omg this comment made me so happy you have no idea – I’m so glad you liked these!
