Total time: 35 min
Yield: 12 cookies
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 ripe bananas, mashed; 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened; 1/2 cup brown sugar; 1/4 cup granulated sugar; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats; 1 cup all-purpose flour; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the mashed bananas and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix well until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a thick cookie dough forms. If desired, fold in chocolate chips or nuts for added texture and flavor.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingers to your desired thickness.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, serve these delicious Banana Oatmeal Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of hot tea, and savor every bite of their soft and chewy goodness.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days, although they are best enjoyed fresh.
