Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and brown sugar (if using). Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking soda, and salt. Stir to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until a dough forms. If youβre adding chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
Using the back of a spoon or damp fingers, flatten each scoop slightly as these cookies wonβt spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your peanut butter banana oatmeal cookies as a healthy snack or dessert!
