Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Stir in the peanut butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully incorporated.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped roasted peanuts for added texture and flavor.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
Flatten the dough balls slightly with the back of a spoon, as they wonβt spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these delightful Oatmeal Peanut Choconana Cookies as a snack, dessert, or even a breakfast treat!
