Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups rolled oats

Instructions

  • Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
  • Add the wet ingredients: Beat in the mashed bananas, peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Gradually add dry to wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  • Stir in the oats: Fold in the rolled oats until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Chill the dough (optional): For thicker cookies, cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven and prepare baking sheets: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Drop by spoonfuls: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  • Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  • Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
