Banana Oatmeal Cookies
- 2 very ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup oats, rolled or quick
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts
- 1/4 cup dried fruit
- 2 tablespoons nut butter
Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, silicone mat, or lightly grease with oil.
In a medium size bowl, mash bananas to a fairly smooth consistency (a few small chunks is ok). Add oats and mix well. Add in chocolate chips, mix again. If the mixture is really wet, add a few tablespoons of oats (see notes).
Using a 1 tablespoon measuring spoon or trigger scooper, scoop heaping scoops of mixture and place on cookie sheet. Leave in a dome shape or flatten it out a bit with your fingers to make a flatter shape. Depending on the size you scoop, you should get anywhere from 12 � 16 cookies.
Place in oven, on the center rack, and bake for 15 � 20 minutes. If you make your scoops dome shaped and on the larger side, bake for 20 � 25 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool a few minutes before eating.
