These were almost a mix between a muffin and a cookie. In my opinion, they had more of a cookie texture so we will just go with that. I wanted a chocolate chip cookie, but I also wanted some banana bread.
I know, you’re are probably thinking, “Wow, Spencer is making something with chocolate and bananas. What’s new?” It’s true, you can find those two in most of my recipes, but who doesn’t love chocolate and bananas?
These were basically thick cookies that were dense, yet super moist. They tasted like banana bread, and then you would get a nice bite of chocolate chunk. Just thinking about them makes me want to make more.
One of the best parts about this recipe is that it is completely vegan. What’s not to love about that? Yes, some of the most delicious foods in life can also be healthy.
