Description
A delicious recipe for chewy banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup mashed bananas (about 2 large)
- 3½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Position two oven racks towards the center of the oven, and preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy. Add the sugars. Beat until well combined, about 2 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla, and beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl, and add the mashed banana. Beat until well combined.
- Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed just until incorporated. Mix in the oats and chocolate chips.
- Scoop the dough into roughly 2-tablespoon-sized balls onto the lined baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. (You will need to bake in multiple batches.)
- Bake for 6 minutes, then swap the baking sheet between the oven racks. Continue baking for 6 to 8 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges and the centers appear dry. (The total bake time will be 12 to 14 minutes.)
- Let the cookies cool on the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Continue baking the remaining dough.
- Cooled cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or frozen for a few months.
Notes
- Can substitute chocolate chips with nuts for variation.
- Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for later consumption.
