4-INGREDIENT BANANA COCONUT COOKIES | healthy samoas

These 4-ingredient Samoas cookies put a healthy spin on the traditional Girl Scout cookie. Made with just four ingredients; bananas, coconut, chocolate and coconut oil, these cookies are easy to make and even better than the original.

I love simple baking recipes just like this! You know, the ones that call for just one bowl and require zero precision.

Remember my 3-ingredient banana oatmeal cookies(link below!)? These 4-ingredient Samoas cookies are very similar, except instead of oats I stirred in shredded coconut and then finished each cookie with a hearty drizzle of chocolate over the top.

4-INGREDIENT BANANA COCONUT COOKIES
2 ripe bananas (7-8 ounces each)
2 cups shredded coconut
1/2 cup chocolate chips*
1 teaspoon coconut oil

INSTRUCTIONS
Pre-heat oven to 350ºF. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchemnt paper or a silpat mat.

In a large bowl, mash browned bananas with the back of a fork until they are broken down.

Stir in shredded coconut and mix until well combined.

Form small cookie shaped discs, using your hands, and place on a prepared baking sheet. Repeat until you have made twelve cookies.

Use the back of a spoon or your finger to create a small hole in the center of each cookie.

Bake for 25 minutes or until the cookies are lightly golden and set through.
Melt chocolate chip in the microwave or over a double boiler. Stir in coconut oil.

Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle chocolate over the top of each cookie.

Pop in the fridge for one hour to allow the chocolate to set up. Enjoy!

NOTES
*Be sure to buy vegan chocolate chips to keep this recipe 100% plant-based. I like these.

**If you want to add a bit more flavor, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt when adding in the coconut.

***To create more depth of flavor, toast the shredded coconut in a dry pan until golden brown. Cool completely before adding to the bananas.

I made these yesterday and my husband and I absolutely loved it! I wanted more than just 12 cookies so I used 4 bananas and 3 cups of shredded coconut. It made 20 cookies. I used both unsweetened and sweetened coconut. I also added 1 tsp vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. SO yummy, super easy and the best part is that it's vegan! Thanks Dani!

[henrymichal]

You've sold me :) I always have 2 or 3 bananas left at the end of the week looking a bit sad and don't know what to do with them. You're a gem, thank you.

My daughter is in the military and is currently deployed. She does not like chocolate but loves coconut.

I am not a very good cook but this recipe looks easy enough for me to follow, lol. Shopping today, then coming home to make these without the drizzle. Tomorrow mailing them to her for Christmas. I will let you know how they come out.

I know this recipe is from 3yrs ago, but I just found it. Love how quick and easy the recipe is and really enjoyed finding another use for ripe bananas.

[rebeccahenderson]

I was looking for a cookie recipe that DIDN'T include oatmeal, so once again thank you Dani

[healthhollow]

I absolutely LOVE The his channel! I have to be honest though. I was so excited about these cookies because I love samoa Girl Scout cookies! I just wasn’t a big fan unfortunately. I toasted my coconut, added vanilla, and dipped each bottom into dark chocolate. I just need to find some recipes for cookies that are healthier but can satisfy my sweet tooth, but I’m having a hard time finding one that I like. I love sugar but I also love fruit and honey and bananas, etc. so I don’t think I’m that picky. I think this one just needed a little more sweetness like honey or maple syrup. I got excited when she said they were absolutely incredible 😄 maybe everyone has different taste but I will always be honest in a review 💗🤗 Good luck everyone! I really hope you like them better than I did.
