Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare your cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda. Set aside for later use.
In a stand mixer or large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on medium speed until fluffy, around 3 minutes. Add the mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined (some lumps are okay).
Incorporate the flour mixture into the banana mixture, mixing just until combined. Next, fold in the oats and chocolate chips if desired.
Scoop out 2-tablespoon size portions of cookie dough and arrange them 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets.
Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cookies are lightly golden and no longer glossy on top.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 3-5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure bananas are overripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week.
Feel free to add nuts or dried fruits for extra texture and flavor.
