These vegan Chewy Banana & Chocolate Chip Cookies are so easy and straightforward to make, plus they contain much less sugar than store-bought cookies.

My kids absolutely love these vegan Chewy Banana & Chocolate Chip Cookies.

I sneak a couple in their lunch boxes as a treat.

I love them too, as they are so easy and straightforward to make, plus they contain much less sugar than store-bought cookies.

This recipe is also great for making use of overripe bananas which I love using in my baking recipes such as this buckwheat banana bread.

Once the cookies have cooled down, they will keep for a few days in an airtight container.

Ingredients

2 overripe bananas
175 g porridge / rolled oats
100 g porridge / rolled oats – to grind as flour
100 g chocolate chips
1 chia egg [1 Tbsp ground chia seeds + 3 Tbsp of water]
2 Tbsp coconut oil melted
3 Tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp gluten free baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4.
Make the chia egg by mixing together 1 Tbsp ground chia seeds and 3 Tbsp of water. Set aside.
Grind 100g of oats into flour.
Place the rest of the oats in a large bowl. Add oat flour, salt, baking powder and the chocolate chips (reserving about 1 Tbsp on the side).
Mash the bananas with a fork. Add vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, maple syrup and chia egg.
With a wooden spoon, mix the ingredients together carefully until they are all well blended.
Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper. Scoop out cookie mix 1 tablespoon at a time and place on the baking tray. Flatten to around 1 cm [0.4 inches] each cookie, to make them round and even.
Add some of the reserved chocolate chips on top of each cookie.
Place in the oven for 12-15 mins until cooked.
Once cooked, leave to cool down on a grid.
These cookies will keep for a few days in an airtight container.
