How to Make 5-Ingredient Guiltless Elvis Cookies:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F/177°C.
2. In a bowl, mash the banana with a fork until it’s mostly smooth.
3. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix well.
4. Drop 6 equal sized and evenly spaced mounds onto a parchment-lined or nonstick baking sheet.
5. Bake for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack once they’re done. Enjoy!
Top Tips for Making 5-Ingredient Guilt-Free Elvis Cookies:
- Take these cookies to the next level of deliciousness by adding a sprinkle of salt (the coarse type, if you have it) to the tops of each one.
- I like using big chocolate chunks (rather than chocolate chips) so the chocolate really stands out.
- Try to use a banana that’s on the very ripe side, if possible.
- When buying peanut butter, look for a type that only has peanuts and salt listed on the ingredient label.

I really liked these. I added a pinch of Himalayan salt when they came out and they were really good! I am looking forward to trying more of your recipes because my dad just started a plant based diet to try and save his kidneys. He can’t have these but I saw so many things that he can have 🙂
Actually we calculated the potassium and phosphorus for 1 cookie and he was able to have one and liked it 🙂
So happy to hear it!! Thanks for letting me know.
So easy to make and very tasty! Mine were still a little “gooey” in texture after baking . . . Not sure if I should have baked longer, or if that was what should have been expected. Will definitely bake these again.
So glad you liked them! Yes, try baking for 1-2 minutes more next time. 🙂
I love this recipe and I make it often! A chocolate chip cookie that you don’t have to feel guilty about eating! It’s full of goodness! ❤️
Thanks for this, Monika!
