Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 0.25 cups Butter (melted)
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Mini chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and brown sugar to the bananas. Mix well until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips and, if desired, the chopped nuts for an extra crunch.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
