FAQs

What are banana cookies, and how are they different from regular cookies?

Let's talk about banana cookies and what makes them different from regular cookies. Well, for starters bananas are natural sweetners and give a moist texture to the cookies. Unlike regular cookies, which rely heavily on sugar and butter for flavor and texture, banana cookies can incorporate mashed bananas, making them a slightly healthier option. They often have a soft and chewy consistency, though they can also be baked to a crisp, depending on the recipe. Variations may include add-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or oats to enhance flavor and nutrition.

Can banana cookies be made without sugar or eggs?

Yes! Banana cookies can be easily adapted for dietary restrictions or preferences. The natural sweetness of ripe bananas can reduce or even eliminate the need for added sugar. For an egg-free version, common substitutes include flaxseed meal mixed with water, applesauce, or yogurt. These adjustments make banana cookies a versatile treat for those following vegan, low-sugar, or allergen-free diets without compromising on taste.

How to store banana cookies?

You may store banana cookies in an airtight container, as it works best to maintain their freshness quotient. They typically last for 3-5 days at room temperature, depending on the moisture content. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze them for up to three months.
