It is officially fall and we are ready for comfort foods. My favorite comfort food of all time is a peanut butter, banana, and honey sandwich on whole wheat bread. I recently created a peanut butter, banana, and honey cookie, inspired by my favorite comfort food. If you like peanut butter, banana, and honey sandwiches, you will adore these cookies.
I know peanut butter, banana, and honey sandwiches are simple, but there is something special about them. They are delicious, wholesome, and bring me back to my childhood. When I was younger, I loved making my own peanut butter, banana, and honey sandwiches so I could squeeze the golden honey bear. Of course, I always made a sticky mess, but I didn’t mind because I got to lick my fingers:) I was precise in my banana placing, I wanted a slice of banana in every bite. I carefully lined them up across the bread that had been slathered with creamy peanut butter and drizzled with sweet honey. I always cut my sandwiches in half and savored every bite.
Peanut butter, banana, and honey cookies have the same comforting flavors as the sandwich. These cookies are hearty and scrumptious. The peanut butter honey glaze takes these cookies from great to grand! I could eat the glaze by the spoonful or maybe even the bowl:)
I will continue to enjoy my favorite sandwich, but peanut butter, banana, and honey cookies are a new favorite comfort food.

That combo is a huge comfort food for me too! Thanks for including my cookies. 🙂
Ow! I’d totally like to try making these using the peanut flour! What a great treat. The drizzle on top looks out of this world good!
I love PB & Banana sandwiches! These look so delicious!
this is such a sweet recipe! definitely brings back some amazing memories…I’m going to have to make a batch this weekend!
These look excellent! Love the PB on top.
Those look incredible! I love the drizzle across the top, Maria! Yum!
That drizzle of glaze is so pretty! My husband will love these. Can’t wait to try them!
These could easily be my new comfort food too-though I am not sure my thighs would love me for that. Oh, whatever….the indulgence would be so worth it. Great cookies girl 🙂 xo
Those cookies look divine! Can you ship to Tokyo? 🙂
What a fabulous combination! This looks like the perfect cookie 🙂
Mmm, I love peanut butter & banana – these look amazing!
Amazing combination, Maria! Perfect in the Fall with a nice warm cup of milky coffee. Mmmmm…..
Great cookie recipe. Can’t wait to try it!
I love peanut butter and banana sandwiches, I have never tried it with honey. These cookies look delicious, I am going to have to give them a try.
I am normally not a fan of bananas but those cookie look yummy!
These look amazing! YUM!
YUM. This is my husband’s favorite kind of sandwich, so I am going to have to try to make these ASAP.
I bookmarked this even before I read the entry or the recipe. The title alone means it’s worth saving. Can’t wait to try these out!
Ah, these look delicious! What a lovely idea for a cookie.
Oh, wow! These look scrummy. That glaze makes ’em!
This look amazing – the peanut butter glaze really puts them over the top!
What a great idea for a cookie, these sound so good!
What a great combination! These would be a hit in my house. Three of our favorites wrapped up in a cookie. Yummy!
These look and sound delicious!
I just found your blog, so adorable! And those cookies look divine:)
Thanks Jenny!
Yum, these look perfect! I don’t have honey right now, but I have agave syrup. Do you think I could use that instead?
I think agave would work great. Let me know if you give them a try!
I love PB-H-Banana sandwiches too! They are my perfect post-long run meal. I absolutely NEED to try these cookies!
I consider anything that’s infused with peanut butter to be a comfort food. these cookies are definitely going to have to be made because after the exam I just took..comfort is definitely what I need!
As soon as I read the title of your post I thought of childhood, I guess I’m not alone 🙂
what a terrific and nostalgic combo! looks incredibly delicious!
How fantastic do these look!!??
I love the idea of peanut butter honey glaze!! This is one of my favorite flavor combinations, remind me of my childhood too. Want to send some of these down to AZ? 😉
These look fantastic! My dad made me the same sandwich on whole wheat bread pretty much everyday for my school lunch, so this treat has great nostalgia. Thank you!
These sound yummy. I’m sure the drizzle on top adds top of extra flavor.
Banana, peanut butter and honey are my FAVORITE on a piece of toasted bread. Why not in a cookie? Love this idea! Thanks for sharing, Maria!
These look so yummy! Definitely bookmarking this recipe.
These look wonderful!
I love all of your cookie recipes! They always look so good and tasty!
Hands down my favorite sandwich too!! I LOVE that you made it cookie-form! 🙂 they look amazing!
OMG my favorite!!!
I’ve never eaten cookies with these three flavors. I love them all, so it’s definitely worth trying out.
I love the drizzle! Happy Fall!
These are AMAZING, Maria! I have two bananas and I know exactly what one of them are going to be used for tomorrow!
oh my gosh, these sound perfect!! maybe i can whip some up this weekend 🙂
I might have to give these a try for the kids using Almond Butter instead of Peanut Butter since we can’t have that. Lots of extras in these that make the fact that it’s a cookie not seem so bad.
I love the sound of these cookies! What a wonderful flavor combo!
I made these today, the flavor was amazing! But the texture was very fluffy and cakey, which I really don’t like in a cookie… any tips on making it chewier? Or did I just do something wrong? I followed your ingredients and directions to a T!
Sorry you didn’t care for the texture. If you want to make it chewier, you can try reducing the flour and adding more oats. The banana makes the cookie very moist and cakey though.
Thanks for the quick response, I’m sorry I didn’t care for the texture, too. But it’s just personal preference, and like I said the flavor was amazing! 🙂
Those look perfectly awesome! I too love the flavor combo.
Yum! These are on my list for sure, as that’s a favorite combo of mine as well. When I was pregnant with my daughter I think pb/banana/honey plus cream cheese, on a whole wheat bagel, was all I ate for weeks at one point.
Oh wow! These look delicious! Do you deliver?? 🙂
For you-sure:)
I love peanut butter, banana, and honey sandwiches and was SO happy when I found an on-campus spot that made them when I was in college. I went there a few too many times 🙂 And it’s so true that adding honey to a peanut butter cookie makes it SOO much better. I don’t make pb cookies without it anymore!
These cookies of yours sound so good. I’ll have to try them, especially since I have all the ingredients in my kitchen. About how much banana will I need – is it one cup?
I used one large banana-about one cup. I made a note in the recipe. Thanks!
These sound so good! I’ve had PB and banana and PB and honey but never all three – can’t wait to try that! The cookies sound great – hope they are good with whole-wheat flour!
Whole wheat flour will work great!
These look SO good. Oh my.
I love the idea of this recipe! I plan on making them this weekend using chunky peanut butter in place. and as Lisa has said- how much banana is needed?
Chunky peanut butter would be great too! I used one large banana-about one cup. I made a note in the recipe. Thanks!
These sound incredible. I can’t wait to try them – I bet my husband would love them!
Love the drizzled Honey Glaze!
These look so amazing! I love anything with peanut butter, and the banana just puts it over the top!
They look so amazing… I bet I would have a hard time eating just one.
I’ve never had a peanut butter, banana and honey sandwich!
What a perfect recipe to make with my girls! They love anything with honey and peanut butter. Thanks for sharing your creation.
You are so inventive when it comes to baking, lovely cookies!
I just happened to have one very ripe banana so tried these out this afternoon — best banana cookies ever!
Thanks Melinda! So glad you enjoyed them!
I love PB&B&H sandwiches too. I must try these cookies. I’ve been raiding your blog for recipes a lot lately. Looks like I have plenty of reason to keep doing it!
What a great snack!
Yum! The flavors in these cookies sound wonderful!
What a perfect combination of ingredients. Thank you!
Oh wowee! These look amazing! I dare not make them incase I eat them all in one go!!
Oh goodness these look delish!!!!
we have the same comfort food! this must smell amazing when cooking!
These cookies are super good! I just made them this afternoon. They were easy and quick to make. I’ll definitely be making these again.
Bananas will definitely pair these peanut butter cookies perfectly! It will be the best if you drizzle some chocolate syrup to make things wilder! LOL. Thanks a lot for sharing the recipe! My son here beside me is getting really hungry. he wants me to make some for him today. LOL
I actually had a honey, Peanut butter and banana sandwish on oatnut bread today! These cookies as dessert would have been awesome with a glass of milk.
Both of my boys LOVE those sandwiches and I’m positive that they would love those cookies even more. You truly are cookie goddess.
That’s funny, I was just sitting here eating a dry and crumbly peanut butter cookie from a shop near my office and thinking about what a waste of calories it is! These look so much better, and the banana gives a low-fat moistness. Love it!
What a cute cookie!!!! Can I make it with almond butter (peanut allergies in the family.) I recently made an unbelievable almond butter pita pocket – yum! Do check it out http://cuceesprouts.com/2010/09/almond-butter-pear-honey-pocket/
Yes, you can use almond butter!
Those really look delicious. Banana? I never thought of putting it on a cookie recipe and it is much more perfect with peanut butter. I will surely try this recipe tomorrow!
Might try these tonight
Those three ingredients, banana, peanut butter and honey are truly a great combination. I should try this one to know what your recipe really tastes. Thanks for sharing. If my kids love these cookies then I will be baking some of these for our family reunion.
So excited to try this!! I LOVE peanut butter and honey..and bananas! I am planning on making these for Thanksgiving at my boyfriends house for his whole family this year. I know they will be great!
I made these recently and they tasted like little muffin tops!
Probably one of my favorite cookie recipes!!
A couple healthy substitutions I make that work perfectly:
Replace a.p. flour for white whole wheat flour
Replace all butter with applesauce
Replace white sugar with splenda
Increase oats by just a little bit
🙂
Thank You!!!
They’re in the oven at this very moment! I can’t wait to try them, and based on the batter, these will be delicious! Thanks for the recipe!
One of my favorite cookies. I hope you liked them!
I made these last night and they are very good! Love the flavor, and the glaze was unbelievable! I am not a big fan of the texture of oats though, and I’m wondering if you think they might work ok next time without the oats? 2 cups of something is a lot to remove… do you think there’s something I could add instead of oats that would serve the same purpose, but not have that grain-y texture?
You can try adding more flour or processing the oats in a food processor first.
These were wonderful – made them with almond butter and my daughter ate three 🙂
I will have to try them with almond butter, sounds delicious!
I just wanted to let you know we made another batch today. My daughter ate the last one for breakfast this morning so I had to make another batch 🙂 I promise she eats more than cookies – she’s just very picky, so anything she will put in her mouth is a triumph, especially if I can sneak some healthy things in there like oats and fruit.
Thanks again for such a great recipe.
So happy you are still loving the cookies!
These were great and very easy to put together! I’m not a huge oatmeal cookie fan, so I might try to reduce the amount of oats next time.
I made these last night and they were delicious! Quick question though. Mine turned out a bit like cake. Should they have the texture of a typical oatmeal cookie? I followed the directions exactly and so I’m not sure where I went wrong!
They are a cakey cookie. If you want more of a thin/flat oatmeal cookie, reduce flour and increase oats.
These are fabulous, thanks for the recipe! I never would have thought to put these ingredients together in a cookie, but it so natural!
I know your post has been around awhile, but I just discovered it & pinned it. I baked these up today and they’re delicious. I’m keeping that peanut butter & honey glaze close for all kinds of delicious treats. So, very belatedly, THANK YOU! 🙂
SO excited to make these. Love PB, nana, honey sandwiches. <3
These look amazing!
As a kid, my mom always made me PB-Banana & honey sandwiches. She’d make it in a hot dog bun though so you could put the whole banana in. So yummy! Can’t wait to try these cookies.
The Elvis version of the sandwich has bacon in it too. Maybe a sprinkle of sea salt atop the cookie to try and replicate the flavors. Mmm, can’t wait.
The only thing that I did not like about this recipe is that they came out dry! Followed the recipe to the T. I added vegetable shortening to see if that would help, they are in the oven now guess we will find out!
These cookies were great! Thank you for sharing with us. P.S. I added 1 cup of mini chocolate chips to mine which were really good too. Thanks again!
This recipe looks both amazing and really healthy! Well done 🙂
Hi Maria – Not sure if you’ll see this note or not because this recipe is on the older side, but have a question. I made these a few weekends ago, but they didn’t turn out all that well. I know they are supposed to be cakey cookies, not chewy cookies, but I think my problem came with the banana. The recipe says 1 mashed banana (about a cup). My 1 mashed banana only came out to be 1/3 of a cup, so I added 3 total bananas to make a mashed cup. So if you list a banana in a recipe, are you measuring by bananas or by cups? That sounds funny. Which is more important – the fact that it is 1 banana or the fact that you need a cup of mashed banana? I’ll have to try again with just adding 1 banana and see how it turns out. Thanks!
You need 1 cup of mashed banana for the recipe. It will vary depending on the size of your bananas!
Wow! Actually I just made it today and it was really delicious! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
I’ve made these twice now, once as written and once with chocolate chips and 50% wheat flour and delicious both ways! I think some dried fruit would be great next time too!
Love the chocolate chip addition!
These are really good! I added more banana and decided to skip the drizzle but they are definitely one of my new favorite cookies. I will definitely be making them again.
you’re really a good webmaster. The website loading speed is incredible. It seems that you are doing any unique trick. Also, The contents are masterpiece. you’ve done a fantastic job on this topic!
Thank you for another magnificent post. Where else could anyone get that type of info in such an ideal way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such info.
The very root of your writing while sounding agreeable in the beginning, did not really work properly with me personally after some time. Somewhere within the sentences you actually were able to make me a believer unfortunately only for a very short while. I still have a problem with your jumps in assumptions and you would do well to fill in those breaks. In the event that you can accomplish that, I would undoubtedly end up being impressed.
Everyone absolutely loved these cookies. I added chocolate chips and I used instant oatmeal instead. It worked out wonderfully. Thank you for the great recipe
You are welcome!
