Create the best banana oatmeal cookies that are soft, chewy, and perfect for a quick breakfast or snack. This easy recipe uses ripe bananas and simple ingredients for wholesome homemade goodness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe medium bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned work best for chewiness)
  • 1/2 cup mix-ins (such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or raisins)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, thoroughly mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
  3. Add the rolled oats, cinnamon, and salt to the mashed bananas. Stir well until everything is combined.
  4. Fold in your chosen mix-ins, like chocolate chips or nuts.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You do not need to flatten them; they will spread slightly.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black for the sweetest flavor and best texture.
  • For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract with the dry ingredients.
  • These cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • If you prefer a softer cookie, slightly underbake them by 1-2 minutes.
