Chewy Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Cookie

These Chewy Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Cookies bring all the cozy banana bread vibes into a soft, bakery-style cookie that’s seriously hard to resist. Brown butter takes the flavor to the next level, adding a rich, nutty depth that pairs perfectly with sweet banana and melty chocolate. Every bite is packed with warm spice, gooey centers, and just the right amount of chew. If you’ve got ripe bananas on the counter, this is hands-down the best way to use them.

Equipment

Ingredients

¾ cup butter
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
1 banana mashed, about ¼ cup
1½ cups flour all-purpose
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
⅔ cup chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate

Instructions

First, brown the butter. Place the butter in a light colored pan over medium heat and continuously stir the butter for 6-8 minutes. Once the butter is brown, remove it from the heat and transfer it to a heat-safe bowl to cool down.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. See notes for instructions modified for the air fryer.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves and set aside for later.
Once the brown butter has cooled, add it to a large mixing bowl with the sugar and beat until creamed and smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the egg yolk and vanilla and beat until well combined.
Add the mashed banana and continue beating until everything is well combined. It may look lumpy.
Add the flour mixture and mix just until combined.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips. Put the cookie dough in the ridge for at least 30 minutes to create a chewier cookie.
Use a #30 medium cookie scoop (about two tablespoons) and place scoops of the cookie dough on the baking sheet. Place them in the oven and bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are just browned.
Place the cookies on a wire rack to cool.

Air Fryer Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 320°F. When scooping the cookies, use a #70 small cookie scoop (about 2 teaspoons). Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and bake the cookies at 320°F for 7-9 minutes or until the edges are browned. These cookies turn out gooey in the middle with nice, brown, crisp edges.
