    Ingredients & Notes

    See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    These healthy cookies come together with simple ingredients. Let's have a look:

    Ingredients to make almond flour banana cookies.
    • Almond Flour: I love using blanched almond flour, which is not to be confused with almond meal. It’s also naturally gluten-free (and grain-free) and a great substitute for regular flour or wheat flour in cookie recipes.
    • Overripe Bananas: Go for slightly overripe bananas. They add a rich banana flavor, natural sweetness, and a soft texture similar to my 2-Ingredient Peanut Butter Banana Cookies.
    • Egg: One large egg is all you need to bind the ingredients together.
    • Coconut Sugar: It has a lower glycemic index than regular sugar and adds a lovely caramel-like flavor to the cookies, similar to my Gluten-Free Baked Cinnamon Donuts.
    • Dark Chocolate Chips: They add a lovely texture and chocolatey surprise, making these cookies feel indulgent. Use the extra to make my Peanut Butter Date Cookies.
    • Honey: A natural sweetener that adds moisture and a subtle sweetness to the cookie dough.
    • Baking Powder: Acts as a leavening agent to help the cookies rise.
    • Vanilla Extract: It adds a rich, aromatic flavor, enhancing the banana flavors of the cookies.
    • Salt: A little salt enhances the flavor and balances out the sweetness.

    How To Make Banana Almond Flour Cookies

    See the full recipe with measurements in the recipe card.

    These banana chocolate chip cookies are incredibly easy to make. Here's what to do:

    Steps showing how to make almond flour banana cookies.

    Step One (Picture 1 above) - Place all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Stir in the chocolate chips. Set aside.

    Step Two (Picture 2 above) - Add the bananas, egg, vanilla extract, and honey to a high-speed blender. Blend on a medium-high speed until pureed and liquidy.

    Step Three (Picture 3 above) - Combine the banana puree with the almond flour mixture until well combined.

    Step Four (Picture 4 above) - Use a cookie scoop to portion the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven until firm at the top and golden brown. Let the cookies cool completely on a cooling rack.

    Top Tips

    • Use Ripe Bananas: Make sure the bananas are ripe—overripe bananas will give you the best sweetness and texture for these cookies. Leave the green bananas for my Pineapple Green Banana Turmeric Smoothie.
    • Use Parchment Paper: It ensures the cookies don’t stick to the cookie sheet and makes cleanup a breeze.
    • Don't Overdo it on the Chocolate Chips: You don't want the chocolate to overpower the lovely banana flavors. I've added just enough to keep it balanced. Try my Almond Flour Chocolate Cookies if you want a cookie with an intense chocolate flavor. 

    Variations & Substitutions

    • Sweeteners: If you prefer a different sweetener, you can swap maple syrup for honey and coconut sugar for brown sugar. Just keep in mind that it may alter the flavor slightly.
    • Other Add-Ins: Chopped, crunchy walnuts match the banana flavors. Toss them in, especially if you have leftovers from making my Gluten-Free Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.
    • Chocolate Chips: If you're not a fan of dark chocolate, you can use semi-sweet chocolate chips.

    Storage

    Store your Almond Flour Banana Cookies with Chocolate Chips in an airtight container at room temperature for 4 days.

    If you want them to last longer, you can store them in the fridge for up to a week.
