Banana Oatmeal Cookies

 

1 cup butter softened

½ cup white sugar

½ cup brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

2 cups flour

2 cups rolled oats

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

½ tsp. salt

3 medium ripe bananas mashed

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

 

Preheat oven to 375°. Line a baking sheet with parchment or spray with nonstick spray.

 

In a separate bowl stir together the flour, oatmeal, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

 

In the bowl of your mixer cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.

 

Add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar and beat until just combined. Mix in the mashed bananas and chocolate chips until well incorporated.

 

Use a medium cookie scoop to drop scoops of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are browned and cookies are set.

 

Cool on a wire rack.

 

TIPS & NOTES:

Swap in walnuts or pecans for the chocolate chips, if you prefer.
