Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Electric Mixer
- Cookie Scoop
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
- Wire Rack
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mashed ripe banana (about 1 medium banana)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 egg large
- 1 cup quick oats
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt (sea salt or kosher salt)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, peanut butter, or dark)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for non-stick results.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, creamy peanut butter, light brown sugar, and egg. Use an electric hand mixer to beat these ingredients together until they are smooth and well combined.
- Next, add the quick oats, baking soda, and salt to the mixture. Continue to beat on medium speed until all the dry ingredients are thoroughly incorporated into the peanut butter base.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, beating on a low speed just until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Allow the cookie mixture to sit for about 5 minutes. This brief rest helps the oats absorb some moisture, making the dough a little thicker and easier to handle.
- Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, measure out portions of dough and roll them into neat balls. Place about 12 cookie balls on your prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden brown and the centers appear set.
- Once baked, remove the cookie sheet from the oven. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool down completely.
