Peanut Butter Banana And Chocolate Cookies – easy to make, fluffy and delicious, these cookies combine my favorite ingredients.
Question: What goes well with peanut butter? Answer: Besides jelly, chocolate loves peanut butter and I’m pretty sure peanut butter loves chocolate (or at least I love them together)!
These Peanut butter banana and chocolate cookies take less that 30 minutes to make and are packed some wonderful flavors. Soft baked, a little chewy and not overly sweet, with a light chocolate drizzle. The creaminess of peanut butter, rich banana flavor and light chocolate drizzle make them perfectly delicious.
I have made these Peanut Butter Banana And Chocolate Cookies a few times before, but although they tasted pretty good, every time I felt they were missing something. Well the original recipe doesn’t call for the chocolate drizzle. I decided to add some chocolate on top (of course you can dip cookies in chocolate), and it worked perfect!
I even feel that these cookies are on the healthier side, because of the banana and peanut butter, but I guess not really! It definitely adds some moisture and a little extra fiber.
Anyway, these peanut butter banana and chocolate drizzle cookies make the perfect mid morning or afternoon snack, and their smaller size doesn’t let you feel like you are over eating.
These are extremely easy to make. Just get all ingredients ready, mix up some dough, form into balls and place on a cookie sheet. If you’d like, you can make the signature PB cookie criss-cross pattern with a fork.
I do recommend that you chill the dough in the fridge for at least 1 hour before baking. The reason for this is to prevent cookies from spreading (I don’t like flat cookies). These way your cookies will bake fluffy and chunky. And after you chill your cookies, they only need about 8-10 minutes to bake, which is pretty quick.

- In the bowl of a stand mixer cream butter and brown sugar for 2 minutes until fluffy. Make sure you scrape sides of the bowl.
- Add peanut butter, egg, banana and vanilla extract and beat on medium speed until well combined, scraping the sides of the bowl if needed.
- Add in dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Using a small cookie scoop or a 1 tbsp measure dough and form balls. Line on baking sheets and press with fork, to make criss cross pattern (optional).
- Chill cookies for 1 hour before baking (optional). Bake at 350 F for 8 minutes. Take out of the oven, cool on baking sheet for at least 5 minutes and transfer to a baking sheet.
- Meanwhile melt dark chocolate over a double boiler. Fill a zip lock bag and cut the end. Drizzle chocolate over cookies.

Mmmm! Indeed one of my favorite flavor combinations! I imagine these can be pretty addicting! YUM!
Thanks Annie!
Since they have banana in them, they’re totally a breakfast cookie, right?! Yummmmmm. I want 2 dozen!
I agree Sarah!
I really appreciate how these cookies aren’t overly sweet, but still chewy. The perfect cookie. I have never seen banana and PB in a cookie like this before (and since I spend 50% of my life on Pinterest, just kidding…well close!) These are fantastic. Next time my husband needs me to bake something for his next school fundraiser, these are it!!
Hey Laura, I’m glad you like these and hope you get to make them! I also spend a lot of time on Pinterest 🙂
Looks and sounds wonderful. Never would have thought of pairing banana with peanut butter in a cookie. Great idea indeed.
Thanks a lot Ella!
Peanut butter and bananas are just about the best combo! I still love having peanut butter and banana sandwiches every once in a while. I love your creativity with these cookies, Mira! Sounds like such a delicious combination. And I love how fluffy and soft they look, too. Pinned!
Thanks for pinning Gayle!
Peanut butter and banana on whole grain bread is my favorite sandwich after a long run. These cookies might have to be a staple in my house now! YUM!
Thanks Linda! I think they can easily be veganized!
Yes! I will use banana as the egg replacer, if that doesn’t work out, applesauce with baking powder always works! Thanks!
That’s exactly what I thought 🙂
Peanut butter and banana, the perfect combination plus the bonus of chocolate. Lovely cookies.
