Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup flour
- ¾ cup sugar use 1 cup of sugar if you want cookies to be more sweeter
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter softened
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 large egg
- 1 ¾ cup old fashion oats
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for an easy cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Set this mixture aside while you prepare the wet ingredients.
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, smash the ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until they are mostly smooth with a few chunks for texture.
- Add the softened butter and the egg. Mix until everything is well combined, about 1 minute.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! Fold in the oats and any additional mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips.
- Scoop and Bake: Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies turn a lovely golden brown.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delightful Banana Oatmeal Cookies with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee!
