π©βπ³ Instructions
-
1
Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
2
In a medium mixing bowl, thoroughly mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth.
-
3
Add the rolled oats to the mashed bananas and stir well until combined and the oats are evenly coated.
-
4
Gently fold in the finely diced fresh strawberries and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
-
5
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each cookie to about Β½ inch thick.
-
6
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the cookies are set. Watch them carefully to prevent over-baking.
-
7
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. They will firm up as they cool.
π‘ Notes
For best results, use very ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots. Feel free to substitute other berries or a mix of nuts and seeds for the strawberries. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. These freeze beautifully for longer storage β simply thaw at room temperature or warm briefly in the microwave.
