Banana Oatmeal Cookies are soft, chewy and studded with chocolate. They are perfect 20 Homemade Vegan Cookies That Will Make Your Kitchen Smell ... for breakfast, or dessert!
Today I want to talk about Kombucha. That is obviously entirely unrelated to these Banana Oatmeal Cookies, however I know you won't obey.
Let me begin by saying that my husband drinks apple cider vinegar mixed with warm water every morning to reduce inflammation or anything like that.
He claims it is magical. I claim it's nasty.
While I understand this is going to seem dramatic (cause it is), I literally dry heave in the sight and odor of his morning ritual to a daily basis. He loves that around me.
Depending on this reaction, one would feel that I would stay far away from Kombucha, correct? I suggest, after all, it certainly comes with a vinegary tang.
But for whatever reason, I keep trying it. I Need to like it SO DANG BAD.
These Banana Oatmeal Cookies are very simple to make and filled with banana taste.
I'm literally a marketer's fantasy cause every single time I see somebody I know enjoying a sip, or simply denying their favourite brand and flavor using a boomerang on Instagram, I'm all,"Perhaps you will really taste decent!" .
Just imagine me using air quotes around the term appreciating cause I believe it is tough to believe this stuff is truly enjoyable in any sense of the word.
Along with spoiler alert. Not one of them taste good. None.
Even those that people claim are mild are a large no-go for me. They taste like freaking sweet vinegar.
I am basically sure that anyone who drinks this brewed tea stuff includes zero taste buds, or badly awesome ones.
I've literally tried each and every brand that my neighborhood marketplace carries and that I HATED, maybe not overdone, HATED each one.
Banana Oatmeal Cookies are tender, plump and studded with chocolate. Stir in walnuts or pecans for just a small crunch!
Yes, I know hate is a really strong word, but there is really no other way to describe my emotions towards kombucha. And I only had to tell y’all my true feelings about this one. Who is with me?
Believe me, I want to enjoy the things cause it seemingly has a ton of health advantages, but I'll be the girl sipping a La Croix and reserving vinegary flavors for salad dressing. Thank you very much!
Let us totally change gears. One thing I always love? Cookies.
Out of no bake biscuits and easy sugar cookies to those banana oatmeal cookies, it's been a love affair that has gone on here in MBA for almost a decade now.
While I am not asserting these banana oatmeal cookies are the least wholesome (cause hello butter and sugar ), I am claiming they are delicious.
They have the ideal amount of banana flavor and a lovely chewy feel because of the oats. The chocolate chips are just an extra bonus.
Banana Oatmeal Cookies are soft, plump and studded with chocolate. Sausage and dried cranberries Banana Oatmeal Cookies - Pinch and Swirl are also a perfect addition.
Everyone who tried these banana oatmeal cookies believed they tasted a advice lot like banana bread, but clearly with an entirely different texture. We dug it about here.
And in my estimation, they are good a excellent alternative to classic banana bread.
A Couple of NOTES ABOUT THESE BANANA OATMEAL COOKIES
These Banana Oatmeal Cookies have a soft, buttery feel. If you're looking for a traditional oatmeal cookie, this isn't the cookie cutter you're looking for. However, you should check out my Homemade Oatmeal Cream Pies and these Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. If you are not fond of oatmeal cookies my favourite chocolate chip cookies, might just become your new fave.
I like these cookies a little about the side, therefore I inhale them for 9 or 10 seconds. If you prefer them to be cooked through, I would take for 10-11 minutes.
Banana Oatmeal Cookies are tender, plump and studded with chocolate. The perfect use for all those browning bananas!
I will say that the oats makes them look like a breakfast cookiecutter, therefore they are all kinds of amazing with a cup of tea or coffee first thing in the morning.
I'd add some chopped peppers into a batch instead of chocolate chips, but everybody definitely chosen the chocolate chips on the nuts.
My friend Amber would inquire,"¿por que no los dos?" , which apparently means"why not both?" (She's from Texas, so that I trust that she is accurate), and you can certainly do this too.
These biscuits are a fantastic way to use those super ripe bananas sitting on your counter tops right now. I will not even tell anybody that they're not really breakfast biscuits. Enjoy!
BANANA OATMEAL COOKIES
PRINT RECIPE
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup unsalted butterat room temperature
1 large egg
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup pops flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
3 1/4 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
From the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a big bowl with an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl and then mix in the egg until completely incorporated. Scrape the sides of the bowl again and add in the mashed bananas and vanilla.
Gently add the bread mixture to the banana mixture and mix until just combined.
Scrape the sides of the bowl and stir to recombine.
Stir in the oats and chocolate chips and blend until incorporated.
Use a medium cookie scoop (about 1.5 tbsp ) to scoop the dough onto prepared cookie sheets leaving about two inches between each cookie.
Bake in preheated oven for about 9-11 minutes.
Remove cookies from the oven and gently press the shirts of each cookie using the bottom of a drinking glass. Because these cookies do not spread considerably, this will help give them a traditional cookie form.
