Abstract

Indonesia is one of the largest banana-producing countries, yet banana peels, which are rich in nutrients, are often discarded as waste. On the other hand, stunting remains a significant health problem, especially in the Jambi region. This community service activity aims to empower PKK women in Simpang Limo Village to process banana peels into healthy cookies as an alternative effort to support stunting prevention. The program was carried out for three months (August–November 2024) involving thirty participants. The methods used included observation, socialization, training on making banana peel flour, and practice in making banana peel-based cookies. The post-training survey results showed a moderate level of knowledge but high interest, with 36.9% of respondents expressing willingness to produce banana peel cookies and 15.4% considering this innovation a positive step in waste reduction. The cookies produced received positive responses, with the community noting their good taste, crunchy texture, and distinctive aroma. This activity shows that the utilization of banana peels has the potential to produce nutritious and economically valuable food products, while also improving the skills of PKK women and potential supporting efforts to reduce stunting.
