Ingredients

The following ingredients have 11 Servings
  • 1 cup mashed banana ((about 2 medium very ripe bananas))
  • 2 cups quick oats ((or rolled oats quickly round in the food processor or blender))
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips ((optional))
  • 1/4 cup vanilla yogurt ((optional for frosting))

Instruction

  • Add the mashed bananas to a medium bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients, including the chocolate chips if using. Stir to combine thoroughly with a spoon.
  • Place batter in the fridge or freezer while the oven preheats to 375F. (Chilling the batter helps it hold together for scooping and portioning.)
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop and drop 1-tablespoon-size balls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Press slightly to flatten to about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until cookies are lightly golden brown around the edges and firm to the touch.
  • Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet.
  • If you want to add icing, you can drizzle cookies with vanilla yogurt. Place yogurt into a zip-top bag with a small corner cut off and pipe over the cookies.
  • Serve immediately or store.
