Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, mash 2 medium ripe bananas until smooth with some small lumps remaining.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp salt to the mashed bananas, stirring until fully combined.
  3. Step 3: Fold in 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips if using, mixing evenly.
  4. Step 4: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon, scoop batter onto the sheet, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart and gently flattening each to about 1/2-inch thickness.
  5. Step 5: Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden and set but centers remain soft.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven, cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
