These gluten-free chocolate banana cookies are a yummy cookie jar staple. This gluten-free cookie recipe is a yummy way to use up one overripe banana. Thanks to Enjoy Life for sponsoring this recipe as part of my ongoing partnership with them. While some of my recipes are brand new creations, many of them are adaptations of recipes I’ve made for years. Some, like this one, are ones that I made many years ago and am just now getting around to trying gluten-free. I found this chocolate banana cookie recipe written out in my handwriting from my college years, with a note saying I’d made them in November of 1998 and gave the a smiley face. 🙂 I figured if I liked them then, I’d likely like them now and so would my family. I was right! These gluten-free banana cookies are soft, cake-like cookies that are perfect for slipping in the lunchbox or cookie jar. They are not crunchy cookies. They have a somewhat similar texture and flavor of my gluten-free monkey cookies that I’ve been making for years too. Except these are even more chocolatey! Unlike many chocolate cookies, these don’t use any cocoa powder. Instead, the chocolate flavor comes from melted semi-sweet chips. I like to use Enjoy Life baking chocolate, and since I knew I was going to want to stir in mini chips at the end, I used mini chips for the melted chocolate too. All Enjoy Life baking chocolate is certified gluten-free, as well as being dairy-free, nut-free and soy-free. And it tastes so good! These have 1/2 cup of Enjoy Life semi-sweet mini chips melted for the dough. Then at the end, I stir in another 1/3 cup of mini chips. You can buy Enjoy Life semi-sweet mini chips directly from Enjoy Life’s store here, or from Amazon here. Have another ripe banana to use up? I suggest making these gluten-free banana oatmeal cookies too. Or you could make these grain-free banana everything bars from Gluten-free Palate. Also, I’ve always wanted to make my friend Jeanine’s gluten-free banana bread donuts! If you have a couple more overripe bananas, make these gluten-free banana chocolate chip muffins! My kids love them! Or make my gluten-free chocolate banana bread. It’s rich and chocolatey like these cookies are! I hope your family enjoys these cookies and my other gluten-free recipes as much as my family did! These gluten-free banana cookies are soft, cake-like cookies that are perfect for slipping in the lunchbox or cookie jar. See blog post for specific product recommendations. If your flour blend has xanthan gum or guar gum already, then omit the xanthan gum called for in the recipe. ° As an Amazon Associate and member of other affiliate programs, I earn from qualifying purchases.
