Ingredients

  • 1 medium overripe banana, mashed (approx. heaping ¼ cup or 74g)
  • ½ cup vegan butter, melted
  • ½ cup (102g) packed dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (52g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 ¼ cup (173g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • ¾ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 4.5 oz bittersweet chocolate (~70%), roughly chopped + ½ oz. more topping
  • ⅓ cup roughly chopped dried banana chips + ~ ¼ cup more for topping

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, use a handheld mixer to combine mashed banana, melted butter, sugars, vanilla extract, and baking soda until creamy. Add flour, corn starch, salt, and spices. Combine on low speed until a soft dough forms. Fold in chopped chocolate and banana chips. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a large cookie scoop (~5 tbsp) to distribute dough onto baking sheet (about 4 cookies for a large baking sheet). Top dough with a couple pieces of dark chocolate and chunks of banana chips.

  3. Bake for 12 minutes until edges are crisp, and middle is still a bit soft. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack. Finish with flaky sea salt and enjoy!
