"Soft and chewy Oatmeal Banana Cookies with Chocolate Chips. Banana makes the cookies naturally moist and sweet. Perfect for healthy snacks and desserts!..."
INGREDIENTS
•
1 cup quick oats (I recommend quick oats over rolled oats, as the rolled oats will have a much firmer texture that is harder to chew)
•
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour (or substitute white whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour)
•
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder (I recommend aluminum free)
•
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
•
1 large very ripe banana (enough to yield 1/2 cup mashed)
•
2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil, at room temperature (not melted) or unsalted butter
•
1 large egg, at room temperature
•
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
•
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
•
3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
