Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 large bananas) Use overripe bananas for best sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened Can substitute with dairy-free alternatives.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Gluten-free substitute possible.
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Can swap for nuts or dried fruits.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Stir in the mashed bananas and the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
  5. Fold in the rolled oats and chocolate chips, ensuring an even distribution throughout the dough.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking
  1. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
  2. Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

To store any leftovers, keep the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For freezing, separate layers with parchment paper.
