Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Yields 42 cookies

Ingredients

  • 12 Tbsp (170 g) unsalted butter, (1½ sticks) room temperature
  • ¾ cup (150 g) light brown sugar, gently packed
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (230 g) mashed bananas, approx. 2 small bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour, stir, spoon & level
  • 1½ tsp baking soda
  • 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2½ cups (200 g) old fashioned oats, not quick cooking or instant oats
  • 1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus more for topping cookies

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉. Line sheet trays with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and sugar in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer. Add the mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla. Mix well and scrape bowl.
  • In a separate bowl stir together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add to wet ingredients and stir until just incorporated. Fold in the oats and chocolate chips. The dough will be thick and sticky.
  • Use a medium cookie scoop (#40 scoop; about 1.5 Tablespoons) to spoon the cookie dough into a ball. (A trigger scoop is recommended due to the stickiness of the dough.) Place the cookies several inches apart onto a prepared baking sheet. Top with additional chocolate chips, if desired.
  • Bake at 350℉ for 10-12 minutes. Edges and bottoms will be lightly browned, but the tops may appear slightly dark/wet still. Do not over-bake. Leave cookies on tray for 5 minutes to finish setting up before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week.
