Whole wheat banana bread cookie is a delightful twist on the classic banana bread, offering a portable and bite-sized version of this beloved treat. Combining the comforting essence of banana bread with the convenience of cookies, these whole wheat banana bread cookies are a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth.
Banana bread is a timeless favorite, cherished for its moist texture and rich banana flavor. The transition from a loaf to cookies introduces a new level of convenience and versatility. Whole wheat Banana bread cookies retain the essence of their larger counterpart while providing a portable snack that can be enjoyed on the go.

INGREDIENTS USED IN WHOLE WHEAT BANANA BREAD COOKIE

  • BANANA

Bananas serve as the primary flavor and natural sweetener in banana bread cookies. They contribute moisture and sweetness, enhancing the overall taste and texture of the cookies.

  • OLIVE OIL

Oil adds tenderness to the cake’s crumb. It coats the flour particles and interferes with gluten formation, resulting in a more delicate and less chewy texture. It is often easier to mix into cake batters compared to solid fats like butter. It can be blended more uniformly with other ingredients, ensuring an even distribution of fats throughout the batter.

  • BROWN SUGAR

Brown sugar provides sweetness and contributes to the chewiness of the cookies. Its molasses content adds a hint of caramel flavor, enhancing the overall taste profile.

  • MILK

Milk helps dilute the batter to achieve the desired consistency. This makes the batter easier to work with and results in a smoother texture. In recipes that use baking powder as a leavening agent, milk can react with it to produce carbon dioxide gas. This gas creates air bubbles within the batter, causing the cake to rise and become fluffy.

  • OATS

Oats add texture and nuttiness to the cookies. They provide a hearty element, creating a more satisfying bite and contributing to the overall structure of the cookies.

  • WHOLEWHEAT FLOUR

Whole wheat flour offers a healthier alternative to refined flour, adding fiber and a nutty flavor. It contributes to the structure of the cookies while imparting a slightly denser texture, making them more wholesome.

  • BAKING SODA

Baking soda is a leavening agent commonly used in baking. In banana bread cookies, baking soda serves to make the cookies rise and become light and fluffy.

COOKIE

Tips for wholewheat banana bread cookie

1. Ripe Bananas: Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor. They also mash more easily, ensuring a smoother batter.
2. Olive Oil Substitution: If you prefer, you can substitute olive oil with other oils like melted coconut oil or vegetable oil for a different flavor profile.
3. Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the baking time. Overbaking can result in dry cookies. They are ready when the edges are golden brown, and the center is set but still soft.
4. Proper Measurement: Accurate measurement of ingredients is crucial. Use leveled measuring cups for dry ingredients and measuring spoons for liquids.
5. Allow the cookie to cool for a few minutes before digging in. This helps it set and improves the texture.

EQUIPMENT USED FOR WHOLE WHEAT BANANA BREAD COOKIE

The kind of equipment you use when you’re baking makes a huge difference to the end result! I would recommend you to use good quality mixing bowls and other equipment so that your eggless marble cake comes out delicious! 

To mix all my ingredients together in, I’m using Borosil’s 100% Borosilicate Glass Bowl which is microwave and oven safe, plus the bowls are super easy to clean and handle, which makes my baking process totally hassle free! 

Not a single day goes in my kitchen when I don’t use a Silicon Spatula, this is the one I recommend. Same goes for my set of Measuring Cups and Measuring Spoons. 

I have baked these cookies in my Borosil 60L oven.
