Microwave Pineapple White Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

…And another obsession is born! We know what you’re thinking—“these girls sure love a lot of foods (and yes, some are a bit unusual).” Remember Lyssie’s experiments with sardines, fennel and ginger? We’ve been cooking and creating with many ingredients because they’re delicious and nutritious. This latest favorite is our Microwave Pineapple and White Chocolate Chip Cookie, and once you try it you’ll understand why.

This cookie was inspired by our Microwave Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies and the variations that followed, like Wild Blueberry Cookies and Minute Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. With just a few minutes of prep and a short microwave or oven bake, you can make a wholesome, satisfying treat using ingredients you likely already have at home. Enjoy it as a snack with Greek yogurt or pair several for a light meal.

Lately we’ve been tossing frozen pineapple tidbits into smoothies to add natural sweetness and bright flavor (sometimes with a bit of ginger). That simple idea led us to add pineapple to this cookie—and the result is magic. The cookie tastes indulgent but is genuinely wholesome and low-guilt.

Benefits of pineapple

• Pineapple is rich in vitamin C, which supports the immune system and helps collagen production for firmer, more elastic skin.
• It provides minerals like magnesium, which helps with relaxation, and potassium, which supports fluid balance and can help reduce bloating. Pineapple also contains antioxidants such as beta-carotene that protect skin and promote a healthy glow.
• Pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain, which has anti-inflammatory properties and may support recovery and joint comfort.

Microwave Pineapple and White Chocolate Chip Cookie

This cookie contains no added sugar and is both flavorful and nourishing. It provides protein, fiber and beneficial nutrients.

Serves: 4 small cookies or 1 large cookie

Ingredients:

1 VERY ripe banana, mashed
3 Tbsp. rolled oats
1 Tbsp. peanut butter (optional: use a white chocolate–flavored peanut butter for a sweeter twist, but that adds sugar)

1/4 cup frozen pineapple tidbits

2 teaspoons white chocolate chips

Directions:

1. If using an oven, preheat to 375°F.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the mashed banana, oats and peanut butter. Stir until evenly mixed, then fold in the white chocolate chips.
3. If making one large cookie in the microwave: spread the mixture in a microwave-safe bowl, press pineapple tidbits into the surface and lightly press the white chocolate chips into the dough. Microwave on high for about 4½ minutes. Depending on your microwave, you may need additional time in 30–45 second increments until the cookie is set.
4. If making four cookies: lightly grease a plate, use four small bowls or four ramekins for uniform shape. Scoop about 2½ tablespoons of the mixture for each cookie and flatten slightly. Press pineapple tidbits and white chocolate chips into each portion.
5. Microwave the plate or ramekins on high for about 4 minutes. Microwaves vary—test doneness by inserting a toothpick or fork through the center; if it comes away wet, continue cooking in 30 second intervals until set. For a single large cookie, chilling briefly in the fridge or freezer after cooking will help it firm up.
6. Oven option: place 2½ tablespoons of mixture per cookie on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until cooked through.
