3 Ingredient Banana Oatmeal Cookies
Description
The recipe uses mashed ripe bananas that infuse natural sweetness and moisture into the cookies. Rolled oats provide a hearty texture and structure, preventing the cookies from spreading or becoming too thin. Adding chocolate chips introduces bursts of rich sweetness throughout. The cookies are formed by scooping dough balls and flattening them by hand before baking at 350°F until lightly set but still moist.
The resulting cookies have a chewy, soft bite with pleasant moistness due to the banana. Their thick shape and oat content make them filling and suitable for a quick snack or breakfast treat. They can be paired with milk or enjoyed plain.
For best texture contrast, use old-fashioned rolled oats instead of quick oats. The recipe is flexible for vegan or dairy-free adjustments depending on chocolate chip choice. Cookies can be refrigerated for up to four days or frozen and thawed before eating.
