    Banana and chocolate are a match made in heaven. I love baking with this combo like in my Vegan Banana Brownies, or my Chocolate Banana Muffins. So why not add to my banana and chocolate baking repertoire with this a cookie recipe?

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    These Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies are going to blow your mind. Here is why:

    • This recipe requires only 9 ingredients!
    • They are easy to make.
    • They use simple ingredients.
    • They bake up chewy and full of banana and chocolate flavor.

    Ingredients

    Photo of ingredients needed to make this recipe.

    Refined Coconut Oil: You can use regular coconut oil here, but it will lend a hint of coconut flavor to the finished cookies. If that isn't for your jam, go with refined.

    Mashed Banana: Be sure to use overripe banana, here or the flavor won't come through. They should be soft and have large brown spots, like bananas that you'd use for banana bread or Banana Bread Cinnamon Rolls, or Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread!

    Cinnamon: A little bit of cinnamon gives these Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies a little banana bread flavor.

    Chocolate Chunks: I like chocolate chunks for this recipe, but if you prefer chocolate chips or even chopped chocolate, they will work!

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    Step 1. Cream the coconut oil with brown sugar.

    Mashed banana mixed into the creamed mixture.

    Step 2. Add the mashed banana and vanilla and mix.

    Chocolate chunks added into the batter.

    Step 3. Mix in the dry ingredients and add the chocolate chunks.

    Step 4. Mix until the chunks are evenly distributed.

    Cookies scooped onto a baking sheet.

    Step 5. Scoop the cookie dough and top each cookie with a few extra chocolate chunks.

    Recipe FAQs

    How do I store these Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies?

    To store, place the cookies in an airtight container and keep at room temperature for up to 4 days. Or freeze for up to a month.

    Can I make these cookies ahead of time?

    Yes! You can make and scoop the dough, then freeze the cookie dough balls for up to a month. Then, allow the cookie dough to come to room temperature before baking as the recipe instructs.

    Can I double this cookie recipe?

    Yes! There is a 2x button in the recipe card that will do the math for you.

    Expert Tips and Tricks

    You want the coconut oil to be room temperature for this recipe. Ideally, it will be soft but not melted.

    If your coconut oil is hard, microwave it at 50% power in 10 second increments until its soft.

    Ingredients
      

    • ½ Cup Refined Coconut Oil, soft but not melted

    Notes

    You want the banana to be super ripe- think banana bread!
    Be sure to measure the amount of banana here since all bananas are different sizes.
