2 Ingredient cookies. Ok these are technically 4 Ingredients because I decided to elevate them a touch but the additional two ingredients are totally optional. These are so warm, soft, and absolutely delicious. If you are a lover of coconut you will go coconuts over these, and if you are not a lover of coconut you can absolutely use rolled oats if you wish. Please feel free to make these your own as you can add a so many different ingredients to make them your own.

Servings: 16 cookies
Author: The Modern Nonna
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients 

  • 3 ripe bananas — the riper the better
  • 3 cups of unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract optional
  • cup dark chocolate chips — or any

Instructions 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  • In a bowl mash 3 very ripe bananas. The riper, the sweeter, we do not want additional sugar in these. Once mashed, add the coconut and stir.
  • Now add the vanilla and chocolate chips and stir again.
  • Use a small cookie scooper and form the cookies into a disc, flatten and shape them in your hands or on the baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden.
  • My top burner of my oven does not work so what I did was bake them for 16 minutes and then I put the oven on broil for 1-2 minutes until the tops were lightly golden.
  • Keep a very close eye on them as they can burn easily. Let them cool and store them in a glass container, you can store them on the counter or in the fridge. Enjoy

Notes

The last two ingredients are optional, I used vegan dark chocolate chips and unsweetened coconut flakes but you can use any. If you substitute the coconut in this recipe you will definitely want to add some maple syrup or agave because they may not be sweet enough. Feel free to add nuts to them, raisins, or anything else you love instead or chocolate chips. I highly recommend finely shredded coconut as it’s easiest to work with. I used coconut flakes as I didn’t have anything else on hand but I do recommend finely shredded coconut instead.

Hi! I'm Sneji. Nice to meet you!

I am more commonly known as “The Modern Nonna” on social media where I create easy home cooked meals with a modern twist. I was born and raised in Sofia, Bulgaria and learned how to cook at the best culinary school in the world – my grandma’s kitchen. I lived in Greece on the Island of Crete with my parents for a while and then moved to Toronto, Canada when I was in grade 5. I started to really cook and experiment with food 11 years ago when I was 21 years old. Everything I currently know is a reflection of some part of my life…

    I was inspired by modern nonna recipe. I made these straight away with the ripe bananas I had to hand! No coconut so used rolled oats and choc chips. Didn’t need anything else but I added a bit of cinammon and then some peanut butter too lol they were delicious!

    1. Did you add the same amount of rolled oats in place of the coconut? My partner does not like coconut. Thank you.
