Dit Sjokolade Piesangkoekies are the best fudgy, soft chocolate brownie cookies made with only 3 ingredients! This chocolate cookie recipe is also 100% flourless, egg-free, and sugar-free.
I created this recipe to use all the ripe bananas sitting on my kitchen benchtop. I usually bake my healthy banana brownies, banana protein cookies, of eierlose piesangbrood to use black bananas, but today I was craving a mix between cookies and brownies.
That’s why I made these fudgy chocolate banana cookies. They are soft and fudgy, taste like brownies, but hold very well in one hand like a cookie.

Bestanddele en vervangings
All you need to make these chocolate banana cookies are 3 simple ingredients, go to the recipe card below for measurement.
- Overripe Bananas. These chocolate cookies contain no added sugar. That’s why the ripeness of the bananas is so important to ensure sweet cookies. My tip, pick ripe bananas with many black, dark spots on their skin. If you don’t have these bananas and you are craving these cookies, follow these tips. Stir in up to 1/3 cup of coconut sugar in the mashed bananas to boost the sweetness of your cookies!
- Onversoete Kakaopoeier or cacao powder. Make sure to fill the measuring cup with a spoon and level up the top to avoid adding too much cocoa powder that turns the cookies bitter.
- Natuurlike grondboontjiebotter with no added oil and no added sugar. My tip to make nut-free banana chocolate cookies is to swap the peanut butter for the same amount of tahini or sunflower seed butter. If you are a fan of almond butter, swap the peanut butter for fresh drippy almond butter.
Making Chocolate Banana Cookies
- First, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a large (or 2 small) baking sheet with parchment paper and oil the paper with coconut oil or an oil spray. You can make this recipe with or without a food processor. I like easy vegan baking recipes, so I am simply use a mixing bowl, a fork, and a spatula to make the dough in barely 5 minutes.
- First, peal and mash your ripe bananas until a smooth puree, with almost no lumps, can be seen.
- Then, fold in peanut butter, unsweetened cocoa powder and use a silicone spatula to stir and create a fudgy, thick chocolate batter. The dough looks like brownie batter, and that’s normal.
- Taste the batter, and adjust it if it doesn’t taste, sweet enough or you want to boost the flavors of the cookies. See my tips below to adjust the flavor.
- Now that the cookie dough is to your liking, use a cookie dough scoop to release dollops onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave two thumbs’ space between each cookie as these cookies expand in the oven.
- Bake the cookies for 15 minutes or until the surface is set and slightly hard but the cookies are still soft and fudgy in the center. Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack. Cool at least 30 minutes before eating – this gives time for the cookies to firm up and hold their shape.
Boosting The Flavor
This is a very simple chocolate banana cookie recipe that you can upgrade by stirring a few of the following ingredients.
- soet – If it’s not sweet enough, then stir and add 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup of coconut sugar, white sugar, or unrefined cane sugar.
- Sjokoladeskyfies – Fold 1/3 cup of vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips into the cookie dough.
- Vanielje-ekstrak – Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or vanilla stevia drops.
- Fermheid – These cookies are soft like brownies. For a firmer texture, stir in 1/3 cup of oat flour.
- Hawermout – Turn this into a breakfast cookie and stir in 1/3 cup of instant oats or rolled oats.
- Geknipte klapper – Add up to 1/2 cup of unsweetened desiccated coconut.
- Gekapte neute – Add up to 1/3 cup of chopped walnuts, pecans, or peanuts.
