Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks) (softened)

3/4 cup golden brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup bananas (about 2 bananas)

2 eggs

2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

3 cups old fashioned oatmeal

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

In a large bowl, mix 1 cup softened butter, 3/4 cups brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar using an electric hand mixer.

Now mash up 2 bananas using a potato masher or a fork and add it to the butter mixture along with 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat that on medium speed until well combined.

Hold a fine-mesh sieve over the bowl of the banana and butter and add in 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Then sift the dry ingredients in, and mix together at low speed.

Now add 3 cups of old-fashioned rolled oats along with 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips. At this point mix everything together with a spatula.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scoop out mounds of the banana oatmeal cookie dough using a medium cookie scoop.

At this point, you can round them balls in your hands or top with chocolate chips (optional). Now bake at 360 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-14 minutes.
