Today you’re in for a sweet treat, not that I didn’t put you on a sugar high coma with all the chocolate sweets I shared lately. Unfortunately my kitchen will be closed for little over 2 weeks. I’m taking a short vacation from baking, getting and setting my mind on a church event I have to bake for on Memorial day.
I’m happy to introduce you to Haniela of Haniela’s Food and Photography. You might recall her from the guest post I did on her beautiful blog few weeks ago.
Hello, I’m Hani, an editor of Haniela’s, a blog I write, I love to bake from scratch, I’m obsessed with decorated cookies and in Summer I daily care for our garden. I love lemons, honey, ice cream and banana.I’m so honored to be guest posting on Roxana’s beautiful site.Thank you for having me over. Today you and I will make super easy delicious Banana Drop Cookies.
You can also experiment with flours if you’d like, I think next time I’m going to try combination of whole wheat and regular flour or throw in a handful of oats for added fiber.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup canola oil or extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup Turbinado/raw sugar, if you can’t find any, use brown sugar instead
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup mashed banana(about 2 large very ripe bananas)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 1/2cup +2 tbsp flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp peanut butter chips, roughly chopped (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F, line 2 baking sheet with parchment paper
- In a bowl of you mixer beat oil with sugars for 5 minutes. Add egg and beat until foamy and doubled in volume.
- While you eggs are beating, sift together flour,cinnamon, and salt, set aside
- In a small dish combine mash bananas with baking soda and let sit for 2 minutes.
- On low speed, alternatively add flour and mashed banana into the egg mixture, fold in chopped nuts and peanut butter chips.
- Using a small cookie scoop drop the dough onto the baking sheet, bake at 350F for 9-12 minutes, until golden brown.
- Store layer between wax paper.These also freeze well, again when freezing layer them with wax paper to prevent sticking

These sound delicious Roxana! What a perfect use for bananas needing a home…I could eat quite a few

Combine “mashed potatoes”?? Haha #4. We all knew what you meant, but that was cute.
Thanks for this yummy sounding recipe, going to put those bananas on my counter to good use!

@Lorna, I can’t believer I wrote potatoes! I meant mashed banana….LOL I didn’t even see it until you pointed that out, thanks. I hope you try these out, adding chocolate chips would make them even yummier.

Hi Hani, what delightful cookies these are…and wow with the flavor combination!
Banana recipes are good to have! I say this because I currently have six dying bananas on my kitchen counter… The texture of these cookies looks delicious.
Just made them using only whole wheat flour…delicious! Thanks so much for the wonderful recipe. I have been searching for a homemade BearPaw recipe for ages.
