These banana oatmeal cookies are made with 3 ingredients: ripe bananas, oats, and chocolate chips. They are quick to prepare, naturally sweet, and baked until soft and lightly golden.
Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C (320°F convection / 160°C fan) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Mash 2 ripe bananas in a bowl until smooth and lump-free.
Add 150 g quick oats and mix until fully combined, then fold in 100 g chocolate chips.
Scoop portions onto the tray, gently flatten, and bake for 12–15 minutes until set and lightly golden.
Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Use Very Ripe Bananas: I like using bananas with plenty of brown spots because they make the cookies naturally sweeter and give a softer texture.Flatten Before Baking: These cookies don’t spread much, so I always press them down slightly to help them bake evenly.Let Them Set After Baking: They come out soft, but I leave them on the tray for a few minutes so they firm up properly.
