    Cup of Yum

  4. Then, add in gluten free flour, baking soda and cinnamon. Stir to combine.
  5. Fold in oats and chocolate chips.

  7. Bake cookies for 9 to 10 minutes or until edges are slightly golden and the middles look set.
  8. Finally, remove pan from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • Use cold butter right from the fridge.
  • Use ripe banana for best results.  You'll need about 1 large banana for this recipe.
  • Both gluten free 1 to 1 flour and all purpose flour work.
  • Old fashioned rolled oats provide a soft and chewy texture.  Quick oats can be used if necessary but the texture will be slightly tougher.
  • The cookie dough will be slightly wet.  Use a cookie scoop or ice cream scoop to help you form the balls of dough.
  • Bake until cookies are just set in the middle.  They are meant to be a little gooey!
  • Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • These cookies freeze really well!
