What happens in your house when bananas turn black? If you are ashamed to say you throw them away, don´t be, I also did that for a very long time until I realized how many different, delicious ways there are to use those black bananas that no one wants to eat.

​

I do already have some recipes that come in handy in this case, like my recent recipe for Marbled Chocolate Banana Bread or the super moist Banana Bundt Cake. Oh.. Just thinking about those two makes me wanna buy a lot of banana´s and just watch them go black :D 

​

But ​today is not about those two delicious recipes, but today is about something sweet and healthy. It is not often that, that can be said about something sweet as there is almost always artificial sugar and fat in sweet recipes which also makes them unhealthy, though delicious :) I find that staying good is much easier when you have some healthy alternatives to the sweets that you are craving. Like who doesn´t love a cookie with a cold glass of milk? :) I know I do! :) And this is a problem, because I cannot just have one cookie, like who can? So it usually ends up being two or three at least. So I had to come up with a plan. That is when I thought to try and make a recipe in which I can use those bananas that we are not willing to eat. And then these yummy and omg! super soft peanut butter cookies were born.

​

Now you​ might be thinking "but why peanut butter?" Are you serious? Really? Because it is so freaking delicious! :) And also because if you use the good stuff, like I do, so the peanut butter that has nothing added to it, just the peanuts, then it is also good for you as it has the healthy fats in it. But well, mainly because it is so damn delicious :)

​

One little tip for storing these cookies, as they have the banana in them you want to store them in an airtight container and in the fridge. That way you will ensure they last longer.

Happy Baking lovelies!
