Make the best chewy banana oatmeal cookies using ripe bananas. This easy recipe creates soft, wholesome treats perfect for breakfast or a guilt-free dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe medium bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for best flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
  3. Add the rolled oats, chocolate chips (if using), vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt to the mashed bananas.
  4. Mix all ingredients together until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon, as they will not spread much.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will firm up as they cool.

Notes

  • Use very ripe, spotty bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture in these healthy banana oatmeal cookies.
  • For a thicker cookie, use less mashed banana or add 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce.
  • Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days for soft baked banana oatmeal treats.
