Preheat the oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, mash the 2 very ripe bananas with a fork. Add the 1 cup rolled oats, and ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and mix well.
Take spoonfuls of the mixture and using your clean hands, shape into cookies. They won’t change their shape while baking, so make sure you give them the final look.
Place them on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden.
Serve them warm or completely cool for a crispier texture.

Allow the cookies to cool completely on the sheet pan before removing them.
Use rolled oats instead of quick oats if you can. If you have any gluten allergies, use gluten-free rolled oats.
for a kick-in flavor, consider adding 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix them in with the oats first before adding them over the mashed bananas.
For a vegan-friendly option, use dairy-free chocolate chips
Add ons: other ingredients you can add to these are shredded coconut, chia seeds, and nuts
Store cookies in an airtight container on the kitchen counter for 2 days. You can store them in the fridge for up to 7 days.
Reheat a cookie in the microwave for 10-15 seconds if you like them served warm
