I’ll be the first to admit that I get really excited when our bananas get overripe because it means it’s I get to bake! Ripe bananas are the best to use in recipes because they’re extremely flavorful compared to regular bananas. Banana bread is usually my go to, but sometimes I want to mix it up.

If you’re bored with traditional banana bread you need to try this recipe! This is a unique way to use up ripe bananas and these cookies are so addicting! They’re packed with peanut butter and chocolate chips (an amazing combo in my opinion!) and are super easy to make.
