How to Make Oat Banana Cookies

Let’s bake something warm and irresistible together.

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mash the Bananas

In a bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. The riper they are, the sweeter your cookies will be.

Step 3: Mix the Ingredients

Add the egg and mix well. Then stir in the oats and chocolate chips until fully combined. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky.

Step 4: Shape the Cookies

Scoop small portions onto the baking tray and gently flatten them—they won’t spread much on their own.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the edges are golden and slightly crisp.

Step 6: Cool & Enjoy

Let them cool for a few minutes. The edges will crisp up while the centers stay soft and chewy—pure perfection.

What to Serve with Oat Banana Cookies

These cookies are amazing alone, but here’s how to make them even better:

A glass of milk or plant-based milk

Tips for Making It Perfect

Use very ripe bananas for best sweetness
Flatten before baking for crisp edges
Don’t overbake—they’ll firm up as they cool
Use parchment paper to prevent sticking
