When banana bread is a cookie.

I has 3 overripe bananas and wasn’t feeling that banana bread vibe. I remember making the kids an oatmeal cookie-esque banana bread concoction. Of course I couldn’t find my recipe, so I tried to recreate it, and I think this version is even better. I added a little chunky peanut butter and dark chocolate chips. These are pretty awesome for breakfast too!

Here’s my recipe-

1/2 C. salted butter, softened

1 C. brown sugar, packed

1/2 C. granular sugar

1/2 C. crunchy peanut butter

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla extract

3 mashed bananas

1 1/2 C. all purpose flour

2 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. baking soda

2 tsp. cornstarch

2 C. old fashioned rolled oats

1/2 C. dark or semi sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°. Combine all wet ingredients (up to flour) in a large bowl, stirring until well combined. I microwaved my peanut butter for 20 seconds to soften it. Add dry ingredients to mixture and stir until fully incorporated. Add chocolate chips, the texture will be slightly looser than cookie dough. Scoop large spoonfuls onto a Silpat lined baking sheet and cake for 8–10 minutes until cookie cake is firm to the touch. These cookies feel like the perfect combination of cookie and cake, chewy and soft, with crisp edges.
