This wholesome vegan biscuit recipe combines the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with creamy peanut butter and dark chocolate chips. These chewy, oat-based treats are a fantastic way to use up overripe fruit while providing a more nutritious alternative to traditional shop-bought biscuits. The addition of applesauce ensures a soft, moist texture without the need for butter or oil, making them a light yet satisfying snack for any time of day.
Ideal for plant-based diets and family lunchboxes, these biscuits are incredibly simple to prepare with basic store-cupboard staples. They are naturally high in fibre thanks to the rolled oats and can be easily frozen for a quick breakfast on the go. Serve them warm with a cup of tea or pack them away for a healthy afternoon energy boost that both children and adults will enjoy.

Ingredients for Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, and Banana Biscuits
90g plain flour
1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
1 banana, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons all-natural peanut butter
120ml unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
180g old-fashioned rolled oats
60g semisweet chocolate chips
How to make Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, and Banana Biscuits
Back to contentsPreheat the oven to 177°C. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and bicarbonate of soda. 3. In a large bowl, mash together the banana, peanut butter, applesauce, and vanilla with the back of a fork. Whisk in 80ml water, scrape the sides, and mix well.
Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and stir together until just combined. Stir in the oats and chocolate chips.
Use a small ice cream scoop or spoon to drop ping pong ball–size dollops of biscuit dough onto the prepared baking sheets. They don’t spread much, so they only need 1/2 inch of space between the biscuits. Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned on the bottom. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before devouring. You can freeze baked biscuits in a gallon-size freezer bag for up to 3 months.
