Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in brown sugar, granulated sugar, browned butter (after cooling), and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined—avoid overmixing!
- Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets about two inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft. Allow to cool on plates before enjoying.
