Gluten Free Oat Banana Chip Cookies
I’ve partnered with Eggland’s Best to bring you these gluten-free, butter-free, cardamom-spiked, Oat Banana Chip Cookies! Thank you so much for supporting the brands that keep this Blog Spinning!
Last fall, ripple-filled chocolate chip cookies seemed to be all over my Instagram feed. Refereed to as “pan-banging chocolate chip cookies” by their creator, Sarah Kieffer, these cookies were being made and remade and reshared.
What really stood out about these cookies were the numerous crispy ripples that came about through a process of freezing the batter and then banging the cookie sheet/pan in increments during the baking process. The resulting cookies were said to have crispy ridges and a soft center. And, I was pretty darn smitten with these cookies. So, as I usually do, I saved the recipe on Instagram. And then managed to forget about them completely during the selling of my old home and the bedlam that ensued.
Today, I was trying to organize my many saved IG posts and guess what? Yup – I bumped into those pan-banging chocolate chip cookies again! Today I figured I’d give those cookies a quick try. But, alas, I didn’t have flour, or butter, or even chocolate chips – and, I call myself a food blogger?!?!
As I always have a case or two of Eggland’s Best eggs hanging around in my fridge, I figured I’d sub in ingredients to make some pan banging gluten free, butter free cookies! A quick look through my pantry and I came across a bag of banana chips and figured I’d sub them in for the chocolate chips. When I mixed up my gluten-free, butter free dough, it smelled like it was missing something, so I added in some cardamom.
Then, I tried following the steps involved in those pan banging cookies. First, I froze the dough and then I tried banging the pan during the baking process of these Oat Banana Chip cookies. And found that maybe I just made way too many substitutions. Duh!
I didn’t have rippled Oat Banana Chip Cookies, I had thinly spread out, super sweet, ones! At this point I figured I’d abandon my idea of rippled edges and just work on making some tasty, yet gluten and butter free, Oat Banana Chip Cookies. I love eggs too much so chose not to make these vegan cookies. And, when It comes to eggs, Eggland’s Best is my only choice.

I ended up making a second batch of these Oat Banana Chip cookies that turned out to be a bit too puffy and not sweet enough and then ended with a third batch that seemed just right.

These would make a perfect breakfast on the go 🙂 I would love a couple of them for my morning tea too!
Just discovered your site via “David at Spiced” and glad he pointed me towards you.
Your Oat Banana Chip Cookies look so good. We have nut allergies in the house so Almond flour isn’t an option. Gluten is not an issue, so would you have a substitute in mind for the almond flour?
Banana chips and cardamom in cookies? You’ve created the cookie of my dreams! I always have a bag of banana chips lying around because they’re one of my fave snacks; I’m totally making these this weekend! SO GOOD!
Well it certainly looks like your recipe trials led to a successful (and yummy) cookie! Hopping over to grab the recipe now. As far as organizing ideas and photos, umph. I have so many phone photos of things I see when I’m out and about. It’s like “I want to recreate that!” But then I end up with dozens of ideas…haha. One day. One day. Now as far as being out of flour, butter and chocolate chips? How is that even possible!? Send your drone up my way. I buy flour in 50-pound sacks! 🙂 That’ll make a lot of cookies. Haha!
I love anything with banana, and these cookies look amazing!
these looks so good! you had me at banana choc chip, and I love your thorough step by step recipe shots! so useful 🙂
These cookies look like the perfect afternoon treat! Definitely a must-make!
These look perfect for a school treat or after school snack!
You banana chips look so good! And so different from the usual cookies. I loved reading your journey on making these cookies. That’s the best way though, having an inspiration and then working with what you have to make something .new
Your oat banana chip cookies look delicious Shashi. It’s nice to see a change from chcolate chip cookies that I always seem to see variations of on people’s blogs. I’ve nothing against chocolate chip cookies, it’s just I think I would like something different. Like these. I can imagine the soft delicious crunch of the banana chips. Yum! (Thanks for the video too 🙂 )
