Banana Bread version of my viral single serve chocolate chip cookie

This dessert came from a very specific craving — combining banana bread and chocolate chip cookies into one. This recipe is super easy to make when you’re craving something banana-y but don’t feel like making the whole loaf. Based off of my OG recipe for the best single serve chocolate chip cookie– thin, crispy on the outside, but still chewy and soft in the center.

The best Single Serve Banana bread chocolate chip cookie Recipe:

• 2 TBSP BUTTER, melted and cooled
• 2 tbsp brown sugar & 1 tbsp white sugar
• 1 1/2 tbsp of a very very ripe banana, mashed up (~25 g of ripe banana)
• 40 g of all purpose flour (roughly 1/3 cup)
• 1/8 tsp of baking soda
• Sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice
• Sprinkle of sea salt
• Vanilla extract
• 2 tbsps of chocolate chips and nuts, optional & adjust to taste

• Combine (melted and cooled) butter and the sugars together
• Mash up your ripe banana until smooth separately before adding into your butter and sugar
• Lightly mix together alongside vanilla extract
• Add in flour, baking soda, salt, and spices
• Mix together gently until JUST combined– over mixing your dough will result in a tough cookie
• Split into two dough balls and let your batter sit in the fridge for ~1 hour to firm up before baking
• Bake in a preheated oven at 350 for ~11 to 14 minutes, really depends on your oven

Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and let it cool for a few minutes before enjoying!

Notes: I like using both brown and white sugar in my banana bread to get that moist, deep caramel flavor throughout. Additionally, using both butter and oil ensure we get a nice rich flavor while still maintaining the moisture. This recipe is also very easy to customize, feel free to add in a few tablespoons of chocolate and/0r nuts. For future experimentation: Brown Butter Banana Bread
