These cookies use mashed ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture, paired with rolled oats for a chewy, hearty texture. Chocolate chips melt into pockets throughout, making these a wholesome-leaning treat for lunchboxes or an afternoon snack. No mixer required, just a bowl and a spoon.

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth, then mix in the softened butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  3. Beat in the egg until fully incorporated.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

  5. Stir the dry ingredients into the banana mixture until just combined.

  6. Fold in the rolled oats and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart, 12 per sheet.
