Super Yummy!
Those are the words my daughter used to describe these cookies.
I had 3 very ripe bananas on my counter and I wasn’t in the mood for my go to ripe banana recipe – The Best Banana Bread. I thought about Banana Bars or Banana Cupcakes but none of those really did it for me. I decided a banana cookie was in order. A Super Yummy banana cookie.
Banana cookies combined with oatmeal, white chocolate and Nutella is near profection
I wanted a nice moist cookie but I didn’t want it to be too cake like. I used 3 ripe bananas and oatmeal. It gave it just the right texture.
I also used cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice for seasoning. Yum!
The crowning touch was the addition of white chocolate chips and a drizzle of nutella on top (thanks Lizzy for the nutella suggestion!)
Pretty much perfection for a banana cookie!
Be sure and push down on the cookies a bit before you bake them.
After the cookies cool drizzle them with the nutella. I warmed the nutella up in the microwave until it was thin enough to drizzle with. Be sure to stir it well to get it drizzling consistency. I put it into a plastic baggie and snipped off the corner and drizzled
So if you need to incorporate more fruits into your diet may I suggest Banana Oatmeal Cookies with White Chocolate and Nutella!?

these sound incredible. Your photos are great. I want to make these ASAP!
Your daughter said it all. These look super yummy! I can’t wait to try them.
For how long do I have to bake them?
The recipe says to bake them for 8-10 minutes.
You’re killing me! Those sound amazing!
They are pretty yummy or as Tessa said – Super Yummy!!
These cookies look so delicious. I’m staring at a couple of bananas on my counter that may be cookies by dinner time.
I made these last night and they taste amazing. Only complaint I have is that they are so soft they fall apart quite easily. Any suggestions for how to firm them up a bit or where I went wrong? I like a soft cookie, don’t get me wrong, but I have a hard time getting them off the rack without them falling apart.
After you bake and drizzle with nutella, do you bake again? What is the bake for 9-1 as the last line? Help! Making these today 🙂
No you don’t bake them again – that was just some left over typing – not sure why? Haven’t noticed it before so thanks for letting me know. I have deleted it.
Enjoy!
About how many cookies does this recipe serving make? I don’t think I seen it on there.
About 2 dozen but of course it depends on how big or small you make them!
