Equipment
- baking sheet
- mixing bowl
- cookie scoop
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- ½ cup natural peanut butter (*if you use sweetened peanut butter, only use 2 bananas)
- 1 ¾ cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place parchment paper onto a baking sheet.
- Mix mashed bananas and peanut butter in a medium-sized mixing bowl with a whisk until fully incorporated.
- Add oats, vanilla extract, salt, and chocolate chips to bowl. Using a rubber spatula, mix until well combined. Mixture will look wet.
- Using a 1" cookie scoop, scoop batter onto baking sheet, making a total of 12 cookies per sheet. Press down on cookies with a fork.
- Bake 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden. Wait 5 minutes before transferring cookies onto a cooling rack. Cookies will firm up as they cool. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
- How to store: Because they are on the slightly moist side, I recommend storing these cookies in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- How to freeze: After cookies have completely cooled, transfer them to a freezer-safe container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw, place them in the fridge overnight.
- Let cookies cool for at least 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. They will firm up as they cool.
- Chill. Although you can eat your cookies shortly after taking them out of the oven, they firm up quite a bit in the refrigerator. I recommend chilling them for at least 30 minutes before eating.
