Deze Bananenchocoladekoekjes taste like banana bread in a cookie form. It’s a thick chewy cookie packed with banana chocolate flavors and made with just 6 ingrediënten in minder dan 30 minuten.
I love making simple and healthy cookies, but for a sweet cookie with a classic taste, nothing beats banana and chocolate chips. These cookies are similar to my Gezonde bananenkoekjes but with a delicious chocolate taste.
They are a great way to make classic cookies with a healthier twist!

Bananenchocoladekoekjes
Ingrediënten
- ½ cup Geprakte rijpe banaan - equivalent 1 large ripe banana (note 1)
- ⅓ cup Gesmolten kokosolie - (note 2)use refined coconut oil for no coconut flavors
- ½ theelepel Bakpoeder
- ½ cup Ongeraffineerde rietsuiker - (notitie 3)
- 1 ½ cup Meel voor alle doeleinden - (notitie 4)
- ½ cup Donkere chocoladeschilfers - (notitie 5)
- 1 theelepel Vanille-extract - optioneel
Instructies
- Place the mashed ripe banana in a mixing bowl. Make sure you measure 1/2 cup because not enough of it makes the cookie dry.
- Add melted, cooled coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sugar and whisk to combine.
- Use a rubber spatula to stir in flour and baking soda.
- When the dough is consistent and thick, fold in the chocolate chips and stir to incorporate.
- Refrigerate the dough in its bowl for 10 minutes (not more) or the dough will be too touch and hard to shape.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Form 10 cookie dough balls of the same size and place them on the baking sheet leaving a thumb apart.
- Lightly oil your hand and press down the top of each cookie dough ball to form flatter cookies. These cookies won't expand in the oven. The shape you give now is what you get in the end. The thicker, the softer the center stays, like banana bread.
- Bake the cookies on the center rack for 16-18 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C) until the sides are nicely golden brown.
- Laat ze 15 minuten afkoelen op het rooster voordat u ze op een rooster legt om verder af te koelen.
Notes
Voedingsbegeleiding
Ingrediënten en vervangingen
You only need 6 base ingredients for this recipe. Here’s how to pick them.
- Geprakte rijpe banaan – Bananas act as a natural sweetener and binding agent in the recipe, replacing the need for eggs or other binders. The riper the banana, the sweeter and more aromatic the cookies will be. If you only have yellow bananas, they will work but result in less sweetness. Applesauce or mashed pumpkin can also work as substitutes but will alter the flavor and moisture content. Avoid overly watery fruits, as they can make the cookies soggy.
- Gesmolten kokosolie – This provides moisture and flakiness to the cookies while maintaining their softness. Refined coconut oil is great for neutral flavors, while unrefined oil adds a coconut aroma. You can also use light olive oil or melted vegan butter for a similar texture. Avoid solid fats like shortening, as they might make the cookies too dense.
- Bakpoeder – To make the cookies light and tender.
- Ongeraffineerde rietsuiker – Can sugar adds sweetness and a slight molasses-like flavor that pairs beautifully with banana and chocolate. You can use brown sugar, coconut sugar, or demerara sugar for a similar result. White granulated sugar is also fine but will give a milder flavor. Avoid liquid sweeteners like maple syrup, as they can disrupt the dough’s consistency.
- Meel voor alle doeleinden – This provides structure to the cookies. Whole wheat pastry flour could work for a nuttier flavor, but avoid regular whole wheat flour as it will make the cookies too heavy. For a gluten-free version, use my Omrekeningsgids voor glutenvrije producten.
- Donkere chocoladeschilfers – These bring rich chocolate flavors and melty pockets of gooey goodness. Semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate are good alternatives. For a different texture, you can substitute some chips with nuts like pecans, walnuts, or almonds.
How to Make Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are super easy to make. Here’s how in pictures. Get the full details in the recipe card further down.
Mash the ripe banana in a mixing bowl.
Add the rest of the wet ingredients and top them with the dry ingredients.
Stir the batter until just mixed and incorporate the chocolate chips.
When the dough is ready, use an ice cream scoop to form cookie dough balls.
Place the dough balls on a baking sheet and flatten them.
Bake the cookies on the center rack for 16-18 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C).
Carine's baktips
I have a few more tips for you to make the best cookies, every single time.
- Measure the Banana Precisely – Ensure you have exactly ½ cup of mashed banana, as too little will make the cookies dry and too much will make them soggy. Use a measuring cup for accuracy.
- Cool the Coconut Oil – Let the melted coconut oil cool slightly before mixing. If it’s too hot, it can partially cook the banana or cause uneven dough.
- Vermijd overmixen – Once you add the flour, stir just until the dough comes together. Overmixing can develop the gluten and make the cookies tough.
- Refrigerate for Exactly 10 Minutes – Chilling firms up the dough for easier shaping, but don’t exceed 10 minutes, as the dough will become too stiff.
- Shape the Cookies Thoughtfully – These cookies don’t spread, so press them into your desired thickness and shape before baking. Thicker cookies will be softer in the center, while thinner ones will be crisper.
- Gebruik perkamentpapier – Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Goed laten afkoelen – Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a cooling rack. This step is crucial for their structure.
- Double the Batch – These cookies freeze beautifully. Make a double batch and store extras in the freezer for a quick treat.
Bewaaradvies
You can store the cookies in an airtight container voor maximaal 2 dagen at room temperature. If you live in a warm or humid climate, the cookies might become softer due to the banana. To keep them fresh longer, store them in a sealed container in the fridge voor maximaal 4 dagen.
These cookies freeze really well. Place them in a sealed container or freezer bag for up to a month. To thaw, leave them at room temperature for a few hours or overnight. For a freshly baked texture, warm them slightly in the oven or microwave.

I am so happy you love the cookies!
Made this cookies and will be honest was a bit weary, as I tried a different recipe last night and had to throw away the whole batch! So pleased that this recipe was a 10/10! Danke!
And I used 1/2 cup almond flour and 1 cup all purpose flour and the cookies turned out great! Love em. Keeper of a recipe. Quick. Easy. Simple! And love it isn’t tooo sweet
Bitte schön ! I appreciate the lovely review.
Ottimi biscotti! Morbidi, gustosi e sani. La ricetta ha funzionato alla perfezione
I have been using Tigernut flour to make chocolate chip cookies, so will try this recipe with that.
Hi
Can i use whole wheat flour in place of all purpose? Is yes, please specify the quantity required
I haven’t tried yet, so I can’t recommend on quantity. Uusally a 1:1 ratio works, but since wholewheat flour has more fiber, the cookies will be less moist.
Pienamente riuscita con la farina integrale, ho aggiunto un po’ di latte per renderli più morbidi alla lavorazione.
Made these cookies. Super easy and the whole family loved them thank you
Hi, when you mention half a cup of flour what size cup are we using?
just to make sure when i try and make these i get the measurements correct. many thanks
Standard American measurement cups. A cup is 250ml. If you are baking in grams and ml, click the metric button on top of the recipe card to convert the recipe in your metric units, so you won’t need any cups.
So Easy and Delicious Tyfs! Moist and Tasty! This is a welcome addition to my recipe desserts list! I added 2 TBS almond Pulp to the recipe just to experiment and to use up some left from making almond milk!! Be Blessed ❤
I just made a batch with chocolate chips & another batch with blueberries. They were very good!
What a great idea to add blueberries! thanks for sharing.
Me and my fam loved it! Thanks for sharing your recipe! I also love that it’s dairy free and half the sugar as a regular cookie! Very tasty!
I wonder if I could use 1 full cup of banana next time ???
Thanks for the lovely feedback. If you double the amount of banana you need to double the other ingredients as well or the batter will be too wet and the cookies too soft.
