Looking for a simple cookie recipe! Using cake mix can definitely streamline the process. Here's a general approach, combining the ingredients you mentioned, along with some important considerations:
Understanding the Ingredients:
* Cake Mix: Provides the base of the cookie, including flour, sugar, and leavening. The flavor of the cake mix will heavily influence the cookie's taste.
* Banana: Adds moisture, sweetness, and a distinct banana flavor. Ripe bananas are essential for the best results.
* Coconut Oil: Replaces traditional butter or oil, adding a subtle coconut flavor and contributing to a tender texture.
General Recipe Idea:
Because cake mixes vary so much, this is more of a guideline. You may have to adjust the amounts of ingredients.
* Ingredients:
* 1 ripe banana, mashed
* 1 box (approximately 15 ounces) cake mix (yellow, vanilla, or banana work well)
* 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
* optional: chocolate chips, nuts, or other mix-ins. I added chocolate chips and coconut.
* Instructions:
* Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
* Combine: In a mixing bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Add the melted coconut oil and mix well.
* Add Cake Mix: Gradually add the cake mix to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more cake mix.
* Mix-ins (Optional): If desired, fold in chocolate chips, nuts, or other mix-ins.
* Scoop and Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between cookies.
* Bake: Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
* Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Important Notes:
* Cake Mix Variations: Different cake mixes have different formulations. You may need to experiment with the amount of coconut oil to achieve the desired consistency.
* Banana Ripeness: Very ripe bananas will yield a sweeter and more flavorful cookie.
* Cookie Texture: These cookies will likely be soft and chewy due to the banana and coconut oil.
I hope this helps you create some delicious banana cookies!
