How to Make Banana Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

3. Beat in 2 large egg whites and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mash 1 ripe medium banana and stir it into the wet ingredients until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Stir in 1 cup (100g) rolled oats and 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips.
7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
