There was no big baking plan behind these cookies. A couple of ripe bananas were ready to be used, and the pantry already had rolled oats, peanut butter, and a little honey.

Once the chocolate Chunk joined the bowl, the mixture came together so quickly that baking a batch seemed like the easiest decision. The cookies are soft and chewy with a lightly nutty peanut butter flavor, natural sweetness from banana and honey, and little bits of dark chocolate throughout.

They’re especially nice with coffee or tea, and if you enjoy banana-based bakes, Banana Chocolate Chunk Cookies and Biscoff Banana Bread Cookies are two other recipes worth keeping nearby.
