Banana Split Cookies Recipe

I love banana splits. Remember this banana split bread I made last summer? And these banana split waffles I made after having them at the Omni hotel in Colorado? Now I am going to share this super easy banana split cookies recipe that I made today!

I have been baking from scratch more lately, as we are trying to cut down on the amount of processed foods we eat. Well, that’s not entirely true: I am trying to cut down on the amount of processed foods we eat. ha! The rest of the family could care less, but as the sole grocery shopper and cook for our family, I get to make the decision on what we eat most of the time.

I still had a box of Pillsbury Funfetti mix leftover from Angeline’s birthday in October and thought I’d try something new and fun with it. I love making cookies because portion control is just so much easier than with other baked goods. I just began the Fiftluential March DietBet, so portion control is going to be especially important over the next four weeks!

These banana split cookies are super flavorful, and you can adjust the amoutn of chocolate chips, cherries, butterscotch, etc, depending on your tastes.

I may have already eaten three…

So much for portion control!

Angeline doesn’t even like cookies all that much and she’s already raved about them. They really are that good!

In a bowl, mix together the cake mix, pudding mix, oil and eggs. Stir in the chocolate chips. Gently fold in the cherries.

    Sounds like an interesting cookie but I don’t see how this recipe is getting away from processed food using a box of cake mix…I am no way a health nut but I am a baker and professional cook retired…so many wholesome recipes out there using unprocessed products…everything in moderation is fair…sorry for not agreeing on the cake mix …just my opinion!!

      It isn’t completely different than processed food but it has a lot less preservatives and stuff than store bought cookies. πŸ™‚ It’s okay, I know that many don’t like cake mixes and I don’t use them all the time myself. They just make it easier when I want to bake something without making every thing from scratch. πŸ™‚

          Butterscotch chips are on the list of ingredients but not in the instructions. People like me need step by step instructions!! ? how many cookies does this make? Thank you.

    Is the coconut oil liquid? I know that this may be a strange question, but I wasn’t sure if it’s the solid form or the liquid form. Thanks!

      It’s kind of like the consistency of Crisco, it’s not solid, and once it sits out a while, it begins melting!
