Ingredients

1½ cup all purpose flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp salt
½ cup softened butter *
1 ripe banana *
½ cup brown sugar any
½ cup granulated white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup chocolate chips *

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350º In a large bowl mix the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt. Set aside.
In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, combine banana, butter, brown and white sugar. Cream together. You may need to scrape the sides of the bowl to be sure it is all mixed equally.
Add the eggs and vanilla into the sugar mix, mix together. Then slowly add flour mix, oats and chocolate chips last. The mix will be sticky and thick. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spoon 1.5 inch balls out onto the parchment. Leave about 1 inch in between the cookies. Feel free to leave them as a ball if you prefer a thicker cookie, or push them down a bit with your fingers.
Bake on 350º for about 10 - 12 minutes. I prefer the cookies nice and soft, i typically pull them out at 10 minutes and let them cool. Once they cool they will be formed and ready to enjoy.

Notes

*I use plant based butter

*about 1/3 cup of mashed banana

*If you don't have banana you can use 3/4 cup softened butter

*I used peanut butter, chocolate chip blend
