Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 small or medium ripe bananas
  • 0.5 cup light brown sugar
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups old-fashioned whole rolled oats
  • 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1.25 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg, mashed bananas, sugars, butter, and vanilla until well combined.
  2. Add the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  3. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly into the batter.
  4. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to form 14 mounds of dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Refrigerate the formed dough for at least 2 hours to prevent spreading during baking.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the cookies for approximately 13 minutes or until the edges are golden.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For softer cookies, bake for a shorter time. For crunchier edges, bake a little longer.
