Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas mashed
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy. Then, add the mashed bananas and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- In another bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually blend the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Finally, fold in the raisins for that fruity goodness.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the center remains slightly soft.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
