Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Ingredients

  • 2 medium bananas
  • 1.5 cups oatmeal (1/2 cup rolled oats and 1 cup quick oats)
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a Silpat mat or lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash Bananas: In a medium bowl, use the back of a fork to mash the bananas until they are fully broken down, creating a smooth, slightly chunky mixture.
  3. Combine Oats and Bananas: Add the oats to the mashed bananas and gently stir until the oats are fully incorporated and the mixture resembles a thick cookie batter.
  4. Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle in the mini chocolate chips and mix them evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Form Cookies: Using your hands, scoop a heaping tablespoon of the dough and shape it into a free-formed cookie. Place each shaped cookie on the prepared baking sheet, continuing until you have 12 cookies.
  6. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes or until they are set through and lightly golden on top.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet before enjoying them as a delicious, wholesome snack.

Notes

  • For a chewier texture, use all rolled oats instead of mixing rolled and quick oats.
  • You can replace mini chocolate chips with raisins or chopped nuts for variation.
  • Ensure bananas are ripe for natural sweetness and better mashability.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten free if using certified gluten free oats.
