Total Time: 32 min
Ingredients
  • 1 Cup Mashed Banana ((About 2 Medium Very Ripe Bananas))
  • 2 Cups Rolled Oats ((Or Quick Oats, Or Rolled Oats Quickly Round In The Food Processor Or Blender))
  • 1½ Teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ¼ Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ Cup Chocolate Chips ((Optional))
Instructions
  1. Add the mashed bananas to a medium bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients, including the chocolate chips if using. Stir to combine thoroughly with a spoon.
  2. Place batter in the fridge or freezer while the oven preheats to 375 degrees F. (Chilling the batter helps it hold together for scooping and portioning.)
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop and drop 1-tablespoon-size balls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Press slightly to flatten to about 1/2-inch thick.
  4. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until cookies are lightly golden brown around the edges and firm to the touch.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet.
  6. If you want to add icing, you can drizzle cookies with vanilla yogurt. Place yogurt into a zip-top bag with a small corner cut off and pipe over the cookies.
  7. Serve immediately or store.
