Ingredients:

  • 2 Large Overripe Bananas
  • 1.5 Cups Quick-Cooking Oats
  • 0.33 Cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel the bananas and mash them vigorously in a shallow bowl using a fork or potato masher until a smooth, glossy liquid-like consistency is achieved.
  3. Fold the quick-cooking oats and semi-sweet chocolate chips into the banana puree using a spatula until all dry elements are hydrated.
  4. Allow the batter to rest for 3 minutes to let the oats absorb moisture, ensuring structural integrity.
  5. Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop, drop portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the cookies are firm to the touch and the bottoms have developed a mahogany-colored caramelization.
