How to Make 5-Ingredient Guiltless Elvis Cookies:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°.

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 riper side, if possible.
• When buying peanut butter, look for a type that only has peanuts and salt listed on the ingredient label.
