Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1 cup vegan butter or margarine, softened

• 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

• 1/2 cup of granulated sugar

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 tbsp non-dairy milk

• 1 1/2 cups vegan semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line the baking tray with parchment paper.

2. Mix the baking soda, salt, and flour in a larger bowl and set aside.

3. Cream the plant-based butter and sweeteners in a large bowl until light and fluffy.

4. Stir the dairy-free milk and vanilla extract until they form a smooth mixture.

5. Alternate mixing the dry and wet components into the creamed mixture. Don’t overmix.

6. Incorporate the vegan semisweet chocolate chips into the mixture with attention to detail. Ensure you mix them completely into the dough.

7. Tap rounded ticks with a light touch, a few centimetres apart, onto the flat baking sheet.

8. Bake for about ten minutes or until golden brown around the edges.

Notes  

• Bake for 1-2 minutes less if you want cookies with a chewy texture.
• Use firm, non-dairy butter; too soft butter will make the dough hard to shape.

Tips for Perfect Cookies

Bananas that have reached the right level of ripeness.

For vegan desserts, banana ripeness is crucial. A ripe banana, especially an overripe banana, is sweeter and softer. This makes it easier to mash into your batter. Its natural sweetness lets you use less added sugar for a less sugary dessert. Put your bananas in a brown bag overnight if they aren’t ripe enough. This speeds up the ripening process!

Use a cookie scoop for even sizes.

Consistency is vital for baking cookies. A cookie scoop helps you create uniform cookie dough balls. Cookies of uniform size look better and bake with consistent results. This reduces the chance of overbaking some cookies while leaving others underdone.

Importance of a Digital Scale

Accurate measurements are essential for the perfect chewy texture in baking. A digital kitchen scale measures dry ingredients like flour and sugar spot on. It also helps you get the right amounts of wet ingredients, such as oil or plant-based milk. This precision can turn good cookies into great ones. It’s an affordable upgrade for all your baking needs if you do not have a scale.

Variations and Substitutions

Want to try something new? These changes will take your cookies up a notch. You can also make them your own:

Gluten-Free Option

Choose a gluten-free flour blend instead of regular flour for a gluten-free treat. Verify that xanthan gum or a comparable binding agent is present in your blend. As a result, your dough will behave more like wheat flour. Suppose it doesn’t, add ½ teaspoon of xanthan gum. This will help your cookies hold together well. The result? Everyone can enjoy soft, chewy cookies, no matter their dietary needs.

Alternative Sweeteners

Refined sugars can rob recipes of their nourishing qualities. Consider kinder alternatives to bring out natural flavours. Maple syrup trades white granules for nuanced caramel notes, shaping textures. Coconut’s molasses character deepens complexity. Agave awakens tropical tones. Recalibrate recipe ratios for balance when liquids vary. Experiment with outside routines to cultivate wellness from within nourishing foundations. Surprise your senses by tuning into creative consciousness over conditional habits. Revel in flavours fuller yet freer.

Adding nuts or dried fruits.

Mix in chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds for flavour and texture. They give a nice crunch. Add dried cranberries, raisins, or chopped dates if you want something sweet and chewy. These go well with the natural sweetness of bananas. You can combine nuts and dried fruits for different textures and flavours in each bite.

These easy additions let you adapt the recipe for various dietary needs. They also keep your cookies exciting!

Storing Your Cookies

After baking these tasty vegan banana cookies, store them with care. This keeps them fresh and yummy for longer. With the right handling, you can enjoy them days later or even save some for a future treat.  

Best Storage Practices

Once the cookies cooled, it was time to store them. Some cookies went into the container with parchment sheets between them. This kept them from sticking together. Other cookies needed extra care. Refrigeration kept their soft, chewy textures and rich flavours for up to a week, even in warm homes. Treating the cookies well, no matter how you store them, ensures their quality and taste last for days.

Freezing for later use

Want to save cookies for later or prep ahead? Freezing is a great option. You can freeze baked cookies or cookie dough balls for more flexibility. To freeze the dough, place the balls on a baking tray and freeze until firm. Next, please put them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Seal it securely to prevent freezer burn. When ready to bake, thaw until soft and bake according to the usual method. For baked cookies, wrap each one or layer them in a container with parchment paper.
