Flourless Peanut Butter Banana Cookies
Flourless Peanut Butter Banana Cookies are wholesome gluten free cookies with rolled oats and chocolate chips. They’re great for snacks or breakfast!
There are two things that I eat almost every single day of my life — peanut butter and chocolate. The peanut butter is normally spread on my toast and topped with banana (this is either breakfast or lunch), and the chocolate is either part of a snack bar, sprinkled over overnight oats, or I eat squares of dark chocolate.
The best days are when I eat peanut butter and chocolate together because it really is one of the best combinations on the planet. There’s nothing like PB&C!
These flourless peanut butter banana cookies were born when I had a mad PB&C craving but didn’t want to make something super unhealthy.
Flourless Peanut Butter Banana Cookies
My Salted Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups are one of my favorite things — but I wanted to make something that would be wholesome enough for snacks, and even breakfast.
My flourless almond butter cookies came to mind so that’s where I started, but I didn’t stop there. I had a few overripe bananas on the counter, so I decided to incorporate them into my cookies.
I added oats because I thought they would make the cookies extra hearty and wholesome, making them perfect for snacks and breakfast.
Truly, these gems are perfect any time of day!
I’ve made these gluten free peanut butter banana cookies 3 times in the past 2 weeks and they’ve gone like wild fire every time.
It’s a good thing they don’t take long to make…you can whip them up in just under 35 minutes.
These may be cookies, but they’re packed with whole foods and unrefined sugar. The biggest splurge is the dark chocolate chips, but I told you…I have to have my chocolate.
These cookies aren’t overly sweet at all, and the banana flavor is mild. What you do get is big peanut butter and chocolate flavor with the hearty texture of oats.
That’s all we really want, isn’t it?
These Flourless Peanut Butter Banana Cookies are great as a grab ‘n go breakfast, packed in lunch boxes, and make the perfect post workout or after school snack.
Take it from me, I’ve eaten them in all of the situations listed above, and have enjoyed them for dessert as well. They’re the best way I know to get peanut butter and chocolate into my day. 🙂

Now that I have a baby I’ve started weaning, I really need recipes like this!
For baby AND for me… lol!
I’m with you on that most delicious of combos… pb and choc. Give me that every day and I’ll love you forever!
These cookies would be perfect for both of you! 🙂 Thanks so much Helen and I’m with you — I love this combo!
I’m right there with you…I usually have both peanut butter and chocolate every day, too! I absolutely love the looks of these, Marcie! Flourless cookies are a favorite of mine, so I can only imagine how delicious these must taste. And your video is amazing, too!
Thanks so much Gayle! These cookies are the best way I know to PB&C in one sitting. 🙂
We are so similar; it’s a rare day that I don’t eat both chocolate and pb :). And a banana too! I love that these cookies combine three of my favorite things!
This is the best way to get all three flavors at once! lol Thanks Kelsie!
I was just looking for a new flourless cookie to try for my gf cousin! Can’t wait to try these!
I hope you love them Jessica — I can’t seem to get enough of them!
These cookies look awesome! I couldn’t agree more that chocolate + peanut butter is the best food combination ever. I think I eat a bit of chocolate every day too – whether in pancakes, atop smoothie bowls, or if I’m grabbing a couple of squares as a little dessert.
Thanks Nicole!
YUM these are definitely my kind of cookie. I also have chocolate and peanut butter pretty much every day, so you’re in good company! I have to eat a square (or two) of dark chocolate pretty much every night. It’s good for you right!?
Dark chocolate is good for you and I love eating that for a treat! Thanks Katherine!
That’s too funny! I eat PB and chocolate everyday too, almost identical to the way you do, lol!
These cookies look like the perfect cure for that craving. I love how easy they are to make!
Thanks Sarah!
