Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Step 2

Mash the banana with a fork.

Step 3

Cut butter in half. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat in microwave 10–15 seconds to soften. Be careful not to melt butter.

Step 4

In a large bowl, use a mixing spoon to blend butter, banana, and sugar.

Step 5

Add peanut butter and brown sugar. Continue mixing until completely combined.

Step 6

Add egg and vanilla. Mix until smooth.

Step 7

Add flours and baking soda. Mix until smooth.

Step 8

Stir in rolled oats. If using chocolate chips or raisins, gently stir in now.

Step 9

Scoop dough with a teaspoon. Shape into 1-inch balls. Place dough balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Flatten dough balls by using a fork to make a criss-cross pattern on the cookies.

Step 10

Bake on middle rack of oven until cookies are lightly browned on bottom, about 8–10 minutes. Remove from oven. Let sit 5 minutes to firm up. Remove from tray.
