Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

Cookies can be healthy too! I promise. These healthy banana chocolate chip cookies are naturally sweetened, can be made with gluten-free oats, and are delicious.

My preschoolers love these cookies. I pack them on neighborhood walks, and I store them in an air-tight container for a fast breakfast.

What makes these chocolate chip banana cookies so special

The cinnamon and maple syrup. The two pair perfectly together. If you don’t have maple syrup, you can use honey.

Also, if you are team savory, you can omit the additional natural sweetener. The ripe banana will bring plenty of sweetness on its own.

They only take 15 minutes to bake. And healthy banana chocolate chip cookies are ready!
