How to make banana chocolate chip oatmeal cookies from scratch?
- Mash bananas
First, in a big bowl, mash bananas with a fork until smooth.
- Add oats
Next, add oats and mix until well incorporated.
- Stir in chocolate chips
Then, gently stir in dairy-free chocolate chips. I used mini chocolate chips because they spread evenly into the cookie dough.
- Form cookies and bake
After that, form your cookies and place them on a prepared baking sheet covered with parchment paper. I measured 1+1/2 tbsp dough for each cookie and got 16 pieces.
Make sure to shape each cookie into a round shape with your hands since these won’t spread while baking.
Bake for 13-15 minutes in a preheated oven to 356°F / 180°C until cookies are set.
- Serve and enjoy
Let cookies cool before eating. Enjoy with a cup of tea, coffee, or golden milk latte.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
