My chewy Banana Date Drops are here! And they are perfect if you are like me – tired of the same old boring breakfasts day after day, you NEED to try these. These Banana Date Drops take less than 5 minutes to whip together (+ baking time), and wow!
These sweet, chewy, Banana Date Drops have only six ingredients in them, and are naturally gluten-free, vegan, and have no added sugar.
For a non-vegan version, you can add unflavored collagen peptides to give them a heartier texture and pack them full of protein.
To get started with this recipe, simply take 3 super ripe, large bananas and mash them together in a bowl. The riper the better, because this helps to give the drops a naturally sweet taste! Then, pit and chop your medjool dates, and add them to the mashed bananas alongside your avocado oil, almond milk, vanilla extract, salt, and rolled oats.
You can use an ice cream scoop to scoop the dough into uniform shapes. Then, top with a pecan and bake at 350 for 20 minutes. It really is as simple as that!

Hi Helen! Thank you so much for making this recipe, and for leaving a kind review! As a rule of thumb, I do not include nutrition information on my recipes, and you can read more about why, here: https://kalejunkie.com/why-i-decided-not-to-include-nutrition-information-on-my-blog/
Update on my second batch. I used 3/4 cup oat flour (I grind oatmeal in a blender and keep it on hand.) I was concerned 1 cup might make them too dry. The rest of 1 1/4 cup I coarse ground the oats. They came out great! Still chewy and moist. This is a definite keeper. I know this is an extra step but I personally like the texture better. Maybe next time I’ll add some cinnamon. Thanks for the recipe!
That’s fantastic! I love that you found a texture and modification that works for you! Thanks for sharing, Sandi 🙂
Came out good. I added chopped walnuts to the batter. Next time I think I’ll grind half the oatmeal into oat flour and see what happens. I’ll keep you posted on the outcome. Nice flavor!
That sounds amazing, Sandi! Thank you so much for the review!
Super easy and delicious! Second time making these banana date drop cookies and I am hooked!!
Woohoo!! That’s so awesome, thank you Marie!
These are wonderful! They taste like they have brown sugar in them and are so amazing out of the oven. They kept great in the fridge for several days.
Yay! So happy you love them. Thank you so much for your review, Sarah!
