Introduction
These Banana Bread Cookies capture everything you love about classic banana bread—soft texture, warm cinnamon, and the sweet depth of ripe bananas—shaped into tender, chewy cookies perfect for snacking. Each bite feels familiar and comforting, like a slice of homemade banana bread transformed into a handheld treat. The combination of mashed banana, oats, and a touch of spice gives them a cozy, bakery-style aroma as they bake, making them especially inviting to share with friends or enjoy fresh from the oven.
The recipe comes together quickly with simple pantry ingredients. Creaming the butter and sugars creates a light, fluffy base, while the ripe banana adds moisture and flavor. Old-fashioned oats contribute gentle chewiness, and the optional walnuts or chocolate chips allow you to customize each batch to your liking. The result is a cookie that feels hearty yet soft, sweet but not overwhelming, and wonderfully versatile. They cool into tender rounds that hold their shape while staying moist inside—everything you want in a banana bread–inspired treat.
