Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mash the banana in a medium sized bowl, then stir in the shredded coconut, mix until combined.

Using your hands or a tablespoon, form small balls then flatten into discs. Place on prepared baking sheet and repeat. To create a small hole in the center of each cookie, use a chopstick or your finger.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until cookies are golden brown. Remove from oven, let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Melt the chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl then stir in coconut oil. Drizzle over each cookie then transfer to the refrigerator to let set.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Choose the Perfect Banana Ripeness 🍌
Use bananas with brown spots and soft texture—they provide natural sweetness and moisture without added sugars, eliminating the need for extra binders in this 4-ingredient recipe.
Mash to Creamy Perfection 🥄
Use a fork to mash the banana until completely smooth with no lumps, ensuring even moisture distribution throughout the dough for consistent cookie texture and easier mixing.
Melt Coconut Oil Strategically 🥥
Gently warm the coconut oil until it's just liquid but not hot before mixing with banana—this prevents the banana from cooking and ensures a uniform, cohesive dough.
Toast Coconut for Enhanced Flavor 🌟
Lightly toast the shredded coconut in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding to the dough to deepen its nutty flavor and boost the nostalgic Samoas taste without extra ingredients.
Chill Dough Before Baking ❄️
Refrigerate the dough for 15-20 minutes before scooping—this prevents cookies from spreading too thin and helps them hold their shape while the chocolate sets properly.
