We live in an era in which taking care of the Planet is no longer an option, but a responsibility that also involves small daily choices. Like that of rethinking the way we cook. Yet, every day, tons of food end up in the garbage without us even noticing. Scraps that are not waste and could instead become precious ingredients, if only we knew how to use them.
Take banana peels for example. Yes, the very ones we throw away without thinking twice. Did you know that they are a concentrate of fiber and potassium, and if washed carefully they transform into a surprising ingredient for biscuits and desserts? Just change your perspective.
And this is where the new Thermomix comes into play, with its Cookidoo platform which makes over 100,000 recipes available. You don’t need to be a chef or improvise: Thermomix chops, kneads, mixes and cooks for you, guiding you with precision towards an impeccable result. Zero stress, zero waste.
The procedure for making the banana peel biscuits that we present to you today is very simple: just chop the hazelnuts, create a cream with banana peels, butter and sugar, then add flour, baking powder and a few drops of chocolate. The result? Golden biscuits on the outside and soft on the inside, born from an anti-waste cooking gesture combined with a pinch of creativity.
Let’s see how to do it.

How to prepare banana peel biscuits with the Thermomix
To start, the hazelnuts must be placed in the Thermomix jug: 10 seconds at speed 10 and a perfect grain is ready to immediately put aside.
Next, add the well-washed banana peels (please choose organic ones!), the butter and the two sugars into the bowl. Cook everything for 4 minutes at 100°C.
At this point, let the mixture cool slightly and prepare the trays. Then put the chopped hazelnuts back into the bowl together with the flour, bicarbonate of soda, egg and a pinch of salt.
The Bimby (40 seconds at speed 4) will mix everything until a smooth and soft dough is obtained.
Finally, the chocolate chips are delicately incorporated with the spatula, allowing the mixture to blend perfectly.
At this point, form small balls with two teaspoons and arrange them on the baking trays. A quick bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 12 minutes and the biscuits are ready.
The result is surprising: golden biscuits on the outside and soft on the inside, ready to taste. All this was about to end up in the dump and instead it became a real delight!
