Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
In a large bowl, beat the egg until light and frothy. Add the peanut butter, oatmeal, mashed banana, sugar, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined, forming a cohesive dough. (10 minutes)
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each. Gently press down on each ball with a spoon to flatten them slightly. (5 minutes)
Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies still appear slightly soft in the center. (12 minutes)
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

Mar 24, 2025My cookies were a little dry, I think I over baked them. I'll try taking them out a minute or two sooner next time.

Dec 5, 2024Mine spread out a lot during baking. I think my banana was too ripe. Next time, I'll use a less ripe one.
