Equipment

Ingredients

1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1 egg
1 medium ripe banana mashed
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup instant oatmeal
1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips divided

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone liner.
In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter until well blended. Add the egg, banana, and vanilla, and mix until smooth. Add the instant oatmeal, flour, and ½ cup chocolate chips, and mix until combined.
Scoop the dough out by large spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly browned around the edges. Press the remaining chocolate chips onto the top of the cookies immediately after baking. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

STORE the Peanut Butter Banana Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature; they'll stay fresh for up to 5 days.

To FREEZE:

Cookie Dough: Roll the cookie dough into balls and lay them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Flash freeze them for about 3 hours until they are solid. Once you have solidified them, you can put them in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen and add a few extra minutes to the bake time.
Baked Cookies: You can let the cookies cool completely and then layer them between pieces of parchment paper in an airtight container or bag. Baked cookies only last for about a month in the freezer. Let the cookies reach room temperature before eating them!

To REHEAT, simply thaw at room temperature, or for a warm treat, heat them in a microwave for a few seconds or in an oven preheated to 300°F (150°C) for about 5 minutes.
