Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups (186g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 medium overripe bananas, mashed (approximately 1 cup)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ¼ cups quick cooking oats
  • 1 ½ cups chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • Whisk flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, cream butter and sugars together on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add mashed banana, egg, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined (mixture will be slightly lumpy).
  • Add flour mixture and mix just until combined, then mix in oats. If using chocolate chips, stir into the dough now.
  • Scoop 2-tablespoon size cookie dough balls and place 2-inches apart on cookie sheets.
  • Bake until light golden and set and no longer glossy on top, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

If you do not have quick cooking oats, you can pulse rolled oats in a food processor several times to break them down slightly before using them in this recipe.
