Ingredients

  • 1 cup oats
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, mashed bananas, egg, and chocolate chips until well combined. Scoop the mixture into small mounds on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Slightly flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon. Bake for about 10 minutes or until set and lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool for several minutes before serving.
Yield: About 10 to 12 cookies.

Kid Cooking Tip

Kids can mash the bananas, measure ingredients, mix the batter, and help scoop the cookies onto the baking sheet.

Variation Ideas

Try adding raisins, dried cranberries, chopped nuts, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, or shredded coconut for extra flavor and texture.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. These cookies also freeze well.
