Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cup Old-fashioned oats
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and stir until well combined.
Beat the egg into the mixture until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using chocolate chips or chopped nuts, fold them into the dough at this stage.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
