Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 large Ripe banana
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Rolled oats
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 3

Mash the ripe banana in a small bowl, then add it to the mixing bowl along with the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 7

Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers look slightly undercooked.

Step 9

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
