    If you're cooking for a crowd tomorrow, you are going to absolutely, positively love this Giant Banana Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie that comes together in minutes. And it tastes so good, you might be tempted to keep it all to yourself.

    I love baking delicious vegan cookie recipes and with a seven-year-old at home there is a great demand for them. But I am also a huge lazybones when it comes to doing just about anything, and cleaning large cookie sheets that don't fit into the dishwasher is at the top of that list. The idea of a giant cookie that I could bake in my cast-iron skillet sounded blissful, and even better, it really tickled Jay who couldn't wait to see it-- and dig into it. "Mom, be sure to put a bazillion chocolate chips in the cookie," he made me promise before falling asleep last night.

    This Giant Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie doesn't have a bazillion chocolate chips, but it is studded with as many as a chocoholic's heart may desire, and then some more. It also has the subtle, addictive hint of banana, which is always a huge plus in our home. And the best part for a mom: it's part whole wheat.

    You don't have to use a cast-iron skillet if you don't have one, a nonstick one is fine, but make sure it's oven-safe. And let the cookie cool in the skillet before you slide it out.

    It's Saturday afternoon and there's a Matlock marathon on TV so I will run now. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.ย If you're watching the game, may your team win!

      could u use chickpea flour or a gluten free flour instead of whole wheat pastry flour?? and could you replace molasses with agave?

        An all purpose gluten free flour might work, although I can't say for certain. And the molasses adds a rich flavor which would be absent from agave. You can just skip the molasses and replace with the same amount of sugar or agave.

        Yes, but the texture won't be as good.

      Cool. I have brown sugar. I can use that. Thanks. And I have some really sorry-looking bananas at home too

      Is molasses optional? I don't use molasses. And don't want to buy for 1 tbsp. Or is there a substitute?

        Amishi, use brown sugar which has molasses added. Or just leave it out and substitute with 2 tbsp more of sugar.

      What is an Indian substitute for whole-wheat pastry flour? Something that can be easily found in a small town shop.

        Atta flour that we make chapatis with would be a good substitute!
