Delicious and chewy banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies packed with flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mashed bananas
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- 1️⃣ Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture looks light and fluffy. - 2️⃣ Add Bananas, Eggs, and Vanilla
Mash the bananas until smooth, then mix them into the bowl along with the eggs and vanilla extract until fully combined. - 3️⃣ Mix in the Dry Ingredients
Sift the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg directly into the wet mixture. Mix on low speed just until incorporated. - 4️⃣ Fold in Oats and Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the old-fashioned oats and chocolate chips using a spatula, mixing just until evenly distributed. - 5️⃣ Scoop and Shape the Dough
Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop the dough into evenly sized mounds and lightly shape if needed. - 6️⃣ Bake Until Soft and Chewy
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8–9 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers remain soft. Let cookies cool briefly before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.
- Overmixing the dough can lead to tougher cookies, so mix just until combined.
