Banana Oatmeal Cookies
Description
The Banana Oatmeal Cookies use ripe bananas mashed to a mostly smooth consistency mixed with quick oats and chocolate chips. A small amount of vanilla, cinnamon, nut butter, and sea salt contributes subtle complexity. The dough is scooped by tablespoonfuls, pressed slightly flat, and baked at 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. This baking time preserves a tender texture and moist crumb characteristic of banana-based cookies.
The result is a chewy cookie featuring the natural sweetness and moisture of bananas paired with the heartiness of oats and pockets of melty chocolate chips. The spices and nut butter add warmth and depth. Ideal for a snack or a light treat, these cookies require no added sugar and are straightforward to assemble.
These cookies are good served fresh from the oven or cooled. They keep well for a few days in an airtight container at room temperature. Because of their moist nature, they can also be frozen and thawed before serving.
