These gluten-free vegan banana chocolate chip cookies are chewy, full of flavor, and incredibly easy to make. Prepared in a single bowl with no chilling required, they come together quickly for a reliable, delicious treat.
The cookies rely on ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture, while old-fashioned rolled oats add pleasant texture. These are the kind of cookies you can make in about 15 minutes from start to finish—perfect for a fast snack or last-minute dessert.
Tips for best results:
- Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and banana flavor.
- Choose gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats rather than instant oats for a chewier texture.
- Measure chocolate chips to your taste—more chocolate is always a good idea.
