- 2 large rip bananas
- 1 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Set the oven rack to the upper-middle position. Then preheat the oven to 350°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat and set aside.
Peel the bananas and place on a large plate. Using a fork, mash them until smooth with no more lumps.
Add the oats and mashed bananas to a medium-size bowl and mix well. If the mixture seems too wet, mix in a few more tablespoons of oats.
Add the chocolate chips and stir to combine.
Scoop one tablespoon of batter onto the baking sheet and flatten it to about ½-inch thick with your fingertips. Repeat for the rest of the batter, spacing the cookies an inch apart.
Bake for 15 – 20 minutes until puffy.
Remove from oven. Let the cookies cool for 5-10 minutes and then use a rigid spatula to remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
