How to Make Healthy Oatmeal Banana Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until completely smooth.
  3. Add the oatmeal, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  4. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  5. Slightly flatten each cookie ball with a fork.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
