Love and Thank you great recipes…I was wondering if I can use the PB2 in place of the creamy PB…keep those recipes coming you are the greatest?
Hi, Thank you! Yes I have seen a few say they would try the PB2, I just don’t care for it but I say give it a go 🙂
I used PB2! With that said, I also was only able to squeeze out 11 cookies instead of 18, and they still came to 1 pt each. The lower point PB2 may have made a difference 🙂
Good tip thank you 🙂 I did make them small so maybe your’s were much bigger, all good for 1 point though 🙂
Where do you buy Kraft light peanut butter?
Made these this evening and they are wonderful! Thanks for a great recipe.
You are very welcome, Happy to hear you enjoyed them 🙂
Wondering if there is something to use instead of the banana?
You could try apple sauce
Can I use almond flour?
I don’t see why not, I am sure it will change texture but your probably use to that if you use almond flour often
Not a fan of PB can I leave it out ?
I think they will still work out ok
Can you taste the banana in the final product?
I love bananas & I love chocolate, just not when they’re together.
Also, as a vegan, I love that this recipe is plant based! Thank you!
Hi Nina, I guess it depends just how much you hate banana/chocolate lol , they are not over powering with the banana taste but it is there.. I’d say give them a go and see what you think, you can try apple sauce, can’t recall of the top of my head if there is apple sauce in these already but if so just increase it
I finally made these tonight. Followed your recipe, my banana was more on the medium side than large, and got 20 little cookies. Three bites apiece and so good 🙂
Glad you enjoyed them Debra 🙂 Different texture but I really enjoyed them 🙂
Thank you, Kate!!
Made these for Christmas (so glad to have point friendly cookie recipies!!) – So yummy, hate to have to share (but I will)
Might use smaller banana next time or applesauce…banana flavor is definitely there (prefer a more chocolately flavor, maybe increase cocoa powder?) But still , all in all, quite good!
Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas Michael, glad you enjoyed them and yes definitely play around to get them more appealing to you, adding more cocoa powder could help 🙂 Happy New Year!
Kate, I’m allergic to bananas. Is there anything I could replace them with? I’ve seen several great recipes that I have this problem with. Thanks!
Hi Mary, best substitute is applesauce and you can even try pumpkin puree
