Description
Soft and chewy three ingredient oat banana cookies made with ripe bananas, quick oats, and chocolate chips flavored with alcohol free vanilla for a simple and wholesome treat.
Ingredients
2 large ripe bananas
1 3/4 cups quick oats
1/2 cup semi sweet or dark chocolate chips flavored with alcohol free vanilla
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mash the bananas in a bowl until smooth with small soft lumps.
3. Add the quick oats and mix until fully combined and thick.
4. Fold in the chocolate chips and distribute them evenly.
5. Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie onto the baking sheet.
6. Flatten each scoop into 2 1/2 inch discs since they will not spread.
7. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden on top and just set.
8. Cool on the sheet for a few minutes then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
Quick oats work best for this recipe and create a soft chewy texture.
If the dough feels too wet add a small amount of oats until it holds shape.
These cookies stay naturally soft and are best enjoyed within a few days.
Chocolate chips flavored with alcohol free vanilla such as options from Alcohol Free Simply Organic or Watkins Clear Vanilla Flavor blend well with the banana and oat mixture.
