How to Make Banana And Peanut Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash 1 ripe medium banana with a fork until mostly smooth.
  3. Add ½ cup creamy peanut butter and mix thoroughly with the mashed banana.
  4. Stir in ¼ cup packed light brown sugar and 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey) until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern if desired.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
