Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until creamy.
  4. Add the mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  6. Fold in the oats, chocolate chips, and/or walnuts if using.
  7. Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture.
  • For a lighter version, you can substitute butter with coconut oil or applesauce.
  • You can swap the chocolate chips for dried fruit like raisins or cranberries for a healthier option.
  • These cookies are soft and slightly chewy, so be sure to cool them completely to maintain their texture.
  • If you prefer a crispier texture, flatten the dough slightly before baking.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • You can freeze the cookie dough for up to 2 months and bake fresh cookies whenever you like.
  • For extra sweetness, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey.
