Oatmeal Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

by Stephanie on May 19, 2009

I know there are whole lotta cookie recipes out there, but trust me when I tell you that these are definitely one of the best ones I have EVER tasted!

The best way to describe them is that they taste a lot like a Reese’s Peanut Butter cup.  Yum!

Oatmeal Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 1/8 cups white sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 banana

1/2 cup peanut butter

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/4 cups rolled oats

1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350.

2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition

4. Stir in the vanilla, bananas and peanut butter until combined well

5. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; gradually stir into the creamed mixture.

6. Finally, stir in the rolled oats and chocolate chips.

7. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto an unprepared cookie sheet.

8. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.

Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!!

I did change the recipe around a bit using sucanant for brown sugar, sucanant with honey for white sugar & whole wheat flower for all-purpose. And I used mini choc chips. Absolutely delicious!!! Thanks for the recipe…it’s a keeper at our house.
