BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
We had 10 uneaten ripe bananas last week. Sometimes I buy bananas and they disappear in one day…other times they sit…uneaten…for days…and I am forced to make some delicious banana cookies like these Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies.
BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
These are one of my absolute favorite cookie recipes. I like to make a big batch and then freeze most of them. Then just grab a cookie or two out of the freezer and either pop them in the microwave when I need a snack for myself or I can put one in the kids school lunch box.
The dough can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days if you want to save some dough and bake the cookies later. Dough can also be frozen and used for later. Just be sure to thaw it in the fridge before using.
BANANA AND OATMEAL COOKIES
These banana cookies are a delicious with the addition of the oatmeal. I think it give these Banana Oatmeal Cookies the perfect texture and keeps them soft and moist…which is exactly what you want in a Chewy Banana Cookie.

On the printed recipe you said “cookies will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week” – shouldn’t that be in the refrigerator for up to 1 week?
Yes. You can refrigerate them. Thanks and Enjoy!
Is it possible to take the rolled oats and grind them to a flour state? I want to make these for my son with autism and he has issues with rolled oats. Would I have to do anything different if I grounded the rolled oats?
Yes. You can use a food processor to grind your oats into oat flour. As far as substituting the oat flour for rolled oats, I am not sure. You can substitute the flour for oat flour. Here is a link to a website that may help you understand the conversion better: http://everydaylife.globalpost.com/can-substitute-rolled-oats-flour-cookies-40457.html Thanks!
Excellent blog post. I definitely appreciate this site.
Keep it up!
Thank you so much!
Will this recipe work without an egg? Or what is an egg substitute as my do is alergic to eggs. Thanks. Looks so yummy!
I am not sure about egg replacements. I haven’t done a lot of research on that. I do know they have egg supplements out there…just not sure which ones are the best! Hope you can find one. I do have this recipe that doesn’t use eggs and it is similar! https://www.theidearoom.net/skinny-banana-cookies/
