Banana Bread Cookies 3 Ingredients No Eggs No Added Sugar

I love banana baked goods and am never running out of ideas to create recipes with ripe bananas. This new 3-ingredient cookie recipe is inspired by a recipe I was making for my babies, the 3-ingredient banana cookies. That recipe was delicious, but I wanted to create a fluffier cookie recipe. I was dreaming about a cookie that tastes like my eggless banana bread, but in a large, thick, soft cookie that bakes in less than 15 minutes.

Ingredients and Substitutions

Self-Raising Flour – This is a premade mix of all-purpose flour and baking powder. You can make your own by using 1 cup of all-purpose flour and stir in 2 teaspoons of baking powder. I didn’t try gluten-free flour blend in this recipe, it may work as well. Ripe Bananas – The riper the bananas, the stronger the flavor and sweetness of the cookies. In this recipe, there’s no added sugar. The bananas are the ones adding sweetness. If your bananas are yellow and not ripe enough to make sweet banana cookies, then add up to 1/3 cup of coconut sugar, brown sugar, or any crystal sweetener. Stir it in the mashed banana before adding the flour. You can also try my vegan banana chocolate chip cookies for a classic banana cookie recipe with added sweetener. Melted Coconut Oil – This is my favorite option to make flaky cookies that almost taste like a vegan scone. You can also use melted plant-based butter or avocado oil.

Optional Add-Ons

Banana bread is always better with some additional crunchy ingredients. That’s why I like to add some of the below ingredients to my cookie batter. They make the cookies even better. Try adding up to 1/2 cup of one or two of the below add-ons:

Chopped walnuts Chopped pecans Dark chocolate chips Dried raisins or cranberries Shredded coconut

You can also boost the banana bread flavor of your cookies by adding spices. Add the spices in the flour, following the suggestions below:

1 teaspoon of cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg or allspice 1/2 teaspoon of ginger 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

How To Make Banana Bread Cookies

Frosting Banana Cookies

I didn’t frost these cookies, but you can add a salted caramel peanut butter frosting on top like I did with my almond flour banana cookies. Or, try some of the frosting recipe below.

Cashew frosting – this is a vegan version of the classic cream cheese frosting. Protein frosting – a chocolate frosting made from protein powder.
