Chocolate Chip Banana Oatmeal Cookies
Notes
8 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup mashed very ripe bananas
1 3/4 cups all-purpose or whole wheat pastry flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350° F. Prepare baking sheets by lining with parchment paper or non-stick spray.
Using a mixer, beat butter and sugars until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add the vanilla and the bananas.
In a medium-size bowl, mix the dry ingredients, including the oats and the chocolate chips.
Add the dry mix to the wet mix in small batches, mixing well after each addition. Continue until all the dry mix is incorporated into the wet.
Drop about 1 to 2 tablespoonfuls of the cookie mix on the prepared baking sheets, depending on the size cookies you want. I did closer to the 2 tablespoon size.
Pop into the oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cookies are browning slightly.
Remove from oven and cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to racks to cook completely.
Makes about 4 dozen or more depending on the size of your cookies.
Store in a sealed container.
