Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
    • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
  • Combine the Dry Ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Add the Extras (Optional):
    • If desired, fold in the oats, chocolate chips, or chopped walnuts.
  • Scoop the Dough:
    • Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake the Cookies:
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set. Keep an eye on them as baking time may vary depending on the size of the cookies.
  • Cool:
    • Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Banana Ripeness: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be.
  • Make it Vegan: Use a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water) and replace the butter with vegan butter or coconut oil.
  • Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months.
