Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas mashed
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 and ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. If desired, fold in chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may still be soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
