Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Oven Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mash Bananas: Peel the bananas and place them in a bowl. Mash thoroughly using a fork or potato masher until smooth, or blend gently with an immersion blender for a finer texture.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the rolled oats and chocolate chips to the mashed bananas and mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated into a thick batter.
  4. Shape Cookies: Using two tablespoons or a small cookie scoop, place little heaps of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently press each heap with your fingers to form thick disks, shaping them into cookie-sized portions.
  5. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until they are lightly golden and set. Remove from the oven and let them cool before serving.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the sweetest flavor and easiest mashing.
  • For a gluten-free option, ensure the rolled oats are certified gluten-free.
  • Substitute chocolate chips with raisins or nuts for variation.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • These cookies freeze well; thaw at room temperature before eating.
