How to Make Chewy Banana Oatmeal Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth.
- Cream together the softened butter and brown sugar in another bowl until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas until fully combined.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture gradually, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the oats and chocolate chips if you’re opting for a sweet twist.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, monitoring until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
- Cool the cookies on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
