Bananen-Mandel-Plätzchen
Inhaltsstoffe
- 2 ½ Tassen Mandelmehl - scoop, lightly packed, sweep (note 1)
- ¾ Tasse Bananenpüree - a bit less than 2 large peeled bananas (note 2)
- 1 Teelöffel Vanilleextrakt - optional
Schokoladenfüllung
- ½ Tasse Dark chocolate Chips
- 1 Teelöffel Olivenöl mit mildem Geschmack
Anleitungen
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Slightly grease the paper with cooking oil spray. Set aside.
- Peel, mash the bananas in a mixing bowl until they form a smooth puree with small lumps of banana.
- Pack the mashed bananas in measuring cups (or weigh) the amount needed, then return to the large mixing bowl.
- Stir in the almond flour, vanilla extract if used. Use a rubber spatula to stir the dough at first. When it starts to look dry/crumbly, squeeze the dough with your hands to form a consistent, soft, and smooth cookie dough. It should be wet, soft, dense, and sticky but easy to roll into cookie dough balls.
- Wash and dry your hands, and lightly oil them. Roll 1 tablespoon of dough between your hands to form a ball. I form 16 cookie dough balls.
- Place each cookie dough ball onto the baking sheet covered with parchment paper, leaving one inch of space between the balls.
- Slightly oil your thumb or the back of a small spoon to press a cavity in the center of each cookie dough ball. The sides of the cookies crack a little as you press the thumbprint. That's normal; you can pat your fingers around the cookie to reform a nice cookie shape and smooth the edges.
- Repeat until all cookies are formed. The recipe makes 16 cookies. They won't expand in the oven.
- Bake the cookies unfilled, for 13-16 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until slightly golden brown on the edges and bottom.
- Transfer the cookies on a large plate.
- Let them cool down on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before filling with the melted chocolate.
- In a microwave-safe glass bowl, add chocolate chips and oil. Microwave for 30-second bursts, stir between and repeat until the mixture is fully melted.
- Use a teaspoon to fill each baked cookie thumbprint with the melted chocolate.
- Repeat until they are all filled up to the top of the thumbprint.
- Pop the plate in the fridge for 30 minutes or until the chocolate filling firms up.

Zutaten und Substitutionen
Für dieses Rezept benötigen Sie nur vier einfache Zutaten. Hier erfahren Sie, wie Sie diese auswählen und austauschen können.

- Mandelmehl – This creates the base of the cookie, providing a dense, soft texture and healthy fats. Sunflower seed flour or sesame flour are good nut-free options.
- Bananenpüree – This acts as the binder and the main sweetener, replacing both eggs and refined sugar.
- Vanilleextrakt – This enhances the natural sweetness of the banana, though it is optional.
- Dunkle Schokoladenstückchen – These melt down to create the rich, fudgy center of the cookie. Sugar-free chocolate chips or dairy-free milk chocolate chips work well here too.
- Olivenöl mit mildem Geschmack – This mixes with the chocolate to ensure the filling stays soft enough to bite into once cooled. Coconut oil or almond milk are great alternatives for the filling.

Carines Backtipps
Let me share a few more tips for a perfect thumbprint cookie!
- Choose Ripe Bananas – Use bananas with plenty of dark spots on their skins because they provide the necessary sweetness and strong banana flavor since there is no added sugar.
- Control The Sugar – Opt for sugar-free dark chocolate or chips with a high cocoa percentage (like 85%) if you are strictly watching your sugar intake.
- Soften The Filling – Mix oil into the melting chocolate to prevent it from becoming rock-hard when cooled. You can also use almond milk or coconut milk if you prefer an oil-free option.
- Fügen Sie etwas Knusprigkeit hinzu – Sprinkle sliced almonds or chopped pistachios on top of the melted chocolate before it sets to create a nice texture contrast.
- Beschleunigen – Place the cookies in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to firm up the chocolate shell quickly if you are in a rush.


Wondering if Gluten Free flour would work well with this recipe. They look delicious!
Not really, but the recipe is gluten-free using almond flour.
Thank you so much for your quick response. I was looking more in the way of a 1:1 flour.
Gern geschehen!
I love how easy this was and yummy! I filled the centres with a paste I made with just medjool dates, sprinkled some Celtic salt and then added some melted dark chocolate on the top of the date caramel. Woahhh they are so good! thanks for another fabulous recipe!
That sounds delish with medjool date paste as well !
Easy to make with kids and absolutely delicious!
I am so happy that your kids enjoy these! Thank you for baking with me.

My pleasure ! I am so glad you like them.
Can you clarify the amount of chocolate chips in the recipe? It is listed as 1/2 teaspoon.
You need 1/2 cup (90grams). The issue you spotted appears only on the automatic conversion from US metric to European. I updated it. Thanks for spotting!
