Super soft and chewy Peanut Butter Banana Cookies with Chocolate Chips. EASY recipe made with no sugar and no flour. Fully loaded with peanut butter flavor!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

¾ cup coconut sugar (or light brown sugar)
1 large egg
1/3 cup mashed ripe banana (about 1 medium/large)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup creamy peanut butter (I used Jif natural)
1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips (60% cacao (or swap roughly chopped toasted walnuts or pecans))
Flaky salt (such as Maldon or fleur de sel (optional))

Steps:

  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut sugar and egg until combined. Whisk in the banana, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Add the peanut butter and continue to whisk until the dough is smoothly and evenly combined. It will be thick, wet, and sticky. If the dough becomes too hard to whisk, switch to a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Stir in the chocolate chips. Place the dough in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes. Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • With a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop the dough into 2 tablespoon-sized mounds and place on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 1 1/2 inches of space between each. Sprinkle each cookie with salt, if using. Return any unscooped dough to the refrigerator to chill while the first batch bakes.
  • Bake for 11 to 12 minutes, until the cookies are turning golden at the edges but still look underdone in the center. Place the baking sheet on a cooling rack and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 2 minutes. Gently transfer the cookies to the rack to cool completely (if the cookies are still too delicate to transfer, simply slide the whole piece of parchment with the cookies directly onto the cooling rack). Repeat with the remaining dough, ensuring that you allow the cookie sheets to cool completely between batches.

Baked Peanut Butter Banana Split (Light) image

This sundae is quick and easy, but sensational! Please note: bananas do not retain their color when baked.

Provided by Maito

Categories     Frozen Desserts

Time 20m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons peanut butter, preferably natural
1 banana, unpeeled
1/4 cup sugar-free vanilla ice cream (or regular low fat)
1/4 cup low-fat coffee ice cream
2 teaspoons sugar-free chocolate syrup (or regular)
1 teaspoon caramel sauce (optional)
1/4 cup fat-free whipped topping (ie. whipped cream in a can)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Make a deep lengthwise slit in the unpeeled banana, without cutting all the way through. Use your fingers to make an opening where you cut, filling the banana with peanut butter.
  • Wrap in foil, sealing the top to form a sort of "boat". Bake for 10-15 minutes.
  • Carefully open the foil. Use a knife to cut one of the ends of the peel off. Lift whole banana out in one piece (you will probably need two utensils for this), and place in a serving bowl.
  • Scoop ice creams next to the banana and top all three with syrups and whipped cream. Serve immediately.

  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
