Inside the peanut jar, stir the contents to evenly distribute the oils. (The best peanut butters for this are thick and have not had the peanut oil removed. Chunchy peanut butters work well. My favourite so far is Thrive Market organic chunky peanut butter but Laura Scudder’s old fashioned smooth/nutty works well.)
Mash banana with a fork until a smooth pudding-like consistency is achieved. (If the banana has some green, I prefer steps in this order so the mash has time to oxidise while I mix the sugar. Then come back to the green banana and mash out the lumps. If the banana is spotted, it will already be soft enough to mash into a smooth goo. For brown bananas, I mix the sugar first so I can combine ingredients as quickly as possible.)
Add peanut butter, until well blended.
In a separate bowl, combine sugar and baking powder and mix. Add sugar mixture to banana mixture and mix until well blended. (The video recommends an electric whisk which is helpful but not necessary, I never use one.)
Add chocolate chips and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to prevent dough from spreading. (If the dough is still runny after 1 hour, you have too much banana. Add 2-3 tablespoons of peanut butter, mix well and re-chill.)
Roll into 1” balls and place in a pre-heated 325°F oven for 6-7 mins (ignore the baking time in the video linked below—watch for when the cookies puff up and start to golden, then remove. Out of the oven they tend to collapse into a beautiful craggy cookie you remove them, the bottoms burn easily but cookies are chewy even when cooled.)
